*****EDITED AT BOTTOM*****
We held my nieces baby shower over at my sister in laws house since she lives in town and we thought we'd have a better turn out that way. I didn't share pictures of people because some people don't want to be on a blog and I didn't ask permission first. Camille had a great turnout and received so many sweet little girls things. It was so much fun. To go along with the garden growing theme I served lunch using terracotta pots. I had a veggie tray, a fruit bowl, Hawaiian haystacks, punch and tall cupcakes. For those who don't know, Hawaiian haystacks are a bed of rice, cream of chicken gravy, shredded chicken, then whatever toppings you want. I used cheese, slivered almonds, cashews, pineapple tidbits, mandarin oranges, peas, green onions, chowmein noodles, hard boiled eggs, tomatoes. My sister in law loved coconut on them, but I only had room for 10 toppings. I love the combination of sweet and salty toppings. The flavors pop in your mouth. Everyone loved the display and the food, so I'm pretty happy. I get to do it all over again Wednesday night for our young women's in excellence night. We are decorating with sunflowers and doing the same basic theme with a play on words. "Grow to the Son" Still have a lot to do to get ready for that.Gotta run...Cole is at the nurses office complaining of a toothache. May be heading to town to visit the dentist....again!

You sure know how to throw a party. My mouth always waters at your food displays. I LOVE Hawaiian Haystacks. It is one of my favorite dinners.
That is such a fun idea with all the pots!! I love it!!! And I love Hawaiian Haystacks!!! Yummy!!
My grandma is a Watts. She hasn't lived in Kanosh in forever, though. My uncle who still owns the house is Clifford Watts. I'll have to ask my mom for sure who still all lives there, but she has 2 cousins who are Allreds (their mom was my grandma's sister) who live there, but only in the past 5-10 years. Anyway, it's a small town, so Mark might know who the Watts are. Kanosh is where I finally learned to ride my bike as a kid!!! No traffic! LOL Plus I remember playing in the canal at the end of the street and all the night games of kick the can and so on. So much fun!!!
WOW..... what a great idea! you are so talented!
AMAZING!
Jolene, you always amaze me with your wonderful presentations of food. Everything looks wonderful!!!
I love how you did that, not only the food, but answered all of my questions one after the other. My first was "What are Hawiian haystacks" and my second was about the tall cupcakes. You'll have to add reading minds to your catering talents.
You are one multi talented girl. It's all beautiful! I guess it's true that the more you use your talents the more you recieve because you do so much and you can do so many different things. Very well I might add.
