A Taste Of This and That

Saturday night we had an fundraiser for the youth group at church. This is the third year we have had "A Taste of This and That" and it was a great success. Everyone submits their recipes ahead of time and a cookbook is made (sold for $10). On the night of the event, everyone prepares their recipe for a sampling. We sell tickets to the event to raise money in addition to the profit from the cookbooks. Chad made homemade bread, baked potato soup, creme fraiche mashed potatoes and a pumpkin roll. I helped with nothing. He had already done all the shopping and did some of the cooking on Friday night on my way back from Atlanta. I took care of Sophie on Saturday while he cooked and did manage to clean the bathrooms and vacuum.

So as you can see from the picture, it is getting difficult for me to hold Sophie with one arm. Oh...Chad also decorated for the event. He grew the wheat grass and got a little creative with all the branches. I think he got some at the bank, post office, McDonalds and our neighbors two doors down. Sophie got a picture with Ms. Christi before she got upset when she couldn't get her to do her routine for going to sleep. Somehow Sophie has gotten used to having a hand holding her face and pacifier while she holds on to our finger (I have a picture for a future posting).
