WOW! 62 comments! You girls really impressed me! I feel so loved! Now did you see just how easy it is to comment?!...now maybe I will see more of all of you...I sure hope so! As you can see I printed up 14 pages of comments and had the boys draw out names. Cody didn't want to smile, but I made a comment about a girl he likes giving him a kiss and he fought hard to hold it in. The winners are Briana and Julie! Congratulations girls! Send me your addresses so I can get your goodies in the mail. I hope you enjoy them! I honestly wish you all could have won....seriously, I do!
I slaved away for 2+ days from morning till late night working on the catering job. I made soooo much food! It turned out beautiful and sweet Camille was appreciative as were her dad and step mom who hired me. Now I have the money to finish my Christmas shopping. For that I'm so thankful. I'm glad I was able to be a part of making her big day special. There were only 2 casualties. I broke a nail and my nephew broke the lid to my glass water jug as we were bringing everything back in the house. So sad!I would love to talk more about stuff but Mark, Chad and Sandy will be here any minute. They drove straight through 30 hours from Georgia to Arizona....and I thought I was tired...THEY are tired!!!

I have been so busy and haven't got to get back into my commenting and reading blogs...I hate that I missed responding to your 200th post! Congrats! And congrats to the winners!

Take a hot bath and get some rest! You deserve it!

Hi, I totally agree with what everyone else has said, you are going to have a wonderful christmas especially when you can cook like that!!! My mum owned her own restaurant and it is the best when you have a mum that can cook.
I am sure Chad would have missed your cooking.

Yummy...what a wonderful spread! Hope you have some leftovers for Chad...lol...as if Mom didn't do more cooking for her boy as well! Enjoy the celebration.
I didn't check your blog until just now, and I won!!! I am sooo excited!!! I guess I don't get to be just a lurker anymore!!!! I'll have to post comments. Your food looks delicious. Sorry about the lid to your water jug. I am sooo jealous, I saw those at Costco and didn't buy one and now I could kick myself!!! I want one sooo bad. Thanks again!!! Have a wonderful weekend and a great time with Chad.... Julie
Jolene, It's Julie again. For some reason I can't e-mail you with my info. Can you e-mail me and then I'll just reply and see if that will work? Thanks!!!
