I'm Grateful For... #21

Party and Get Togethers!!! They're fun, loud and memorable!

I had a lot of fun (and muscle aches) from co-hosting (and catering) L-Infinity's birthday dinner party. So glad Mr. Man was home!

Just two of the food items in the menu: Lumpias and Pancit (mini eggrolls and noodles)
We also had steamed rice, tocino, bbq ribs, calamansi juice, sparkling cider, shrimp and snow peas, and Cheesecake Factory sampler boxes from Costco as her cake. She asked for a Filipino themed dinner which meant three days worth of prepping and cooking for me!


Got these toasting glasses from Kohl's FREE- all 12! I had two @$10 giftcards that the store gave out thru their postcard ads. On Friday, I bought a box of 6 for $9.96 making it FREE then on Saturday morning, the price was down to $8.96! The napkins were from a Target clearance find back in 2007, so again, FREE! On the label, it said, 48 cents for 20-ct. Love that!

Here are some of the activities- Beatles Rockband on the Wii...
Switching of instrument use...
Waiting for the cheesecake...
Matt and Cori Adams, enjoying the food... Matt came late so Cori joined him again. :-)
Mr. Man borrowing their baby...
Me babysitting on my downtime...
Taking a group shot- after the cheesecake and sparkling cider toast. I videotaped the toast. Everyone raised their glasses and yelled out, "Happy Birthday, L!" and "Hajza!"
Some I-Phone and MP3 video viewing... L got a scarf, earrings, argyle kneesocks, a personalized bedtime stories book and Eeyore. She loved them!
Tyler and L, listening to some music...
Our family feels blessed when we open our home to friends, neighbors and loved ones. That's why we host parties, we want the unique spirit each person brings...
