This weekend I had the family on my moms side come over for lunch to celebrate my great grandmothers 91st birthday! We combined this day to be a birthday/early thanksgiving and the food was amazing! Yesterday I was making dessert for the lunch and I decided to make Rice Krispies! This was the first time I have ever made them but I was willing to give it a shot!
I read the box and I put all of the materials I needed in the big bowl starting with butter, marshmallows, then rice krispies. I didn't read the rest of the instructions and I realized that I needed to melt the butter and marshmallows first. Whoops! I was fishing out marshmallows for an hour! The prep time on the box said 15 mins but the entire thing didn't get done for another hour and a half.
Well, That's my funny blonde moment! I have a few every once in a while but Matthew is the one that witnesses them all!
The lunch was amazing! I saw my cousin Jenny who is just recently married to a very cool guy (I approve lol). Jenny and Cody brought their new puppy Atlas who is a black Great Dane, I was super jealous. I have wanted a Great Dane for awhile now since I worked with one all summer long. Great Danes are truly amazing dogs and gentle giants. My cousin Sarah came and brought her son Sawyer who just turned 3. Sawyer is the cutest little boy and Sarah looks amazing. My aunt Kristi came and brought her 2 kids Elena and Cale. Elena and Cale are pretty much my brother and sister so I have frequent contact with them. My great aunt and uncle Rod and Illah came and helped make the food. I had a nice conversation with Illah and she has always been very open with me and is a great listener. My boyfriend Matthew came and he met Illah, Sarah, Sawyer, Jenny, and Cody for the first time. He is so close to meeting my whole family on both sides! I hope they like him just as much as I do! He is my best friend and the best listener and advice giver. He keeps me sane lol! My great grandmother turned 91and I know she was very happy to have her family here with her today. The only thing that would have made it better was if Grandpa Bill was still here.
Happy Early Thanksgiving Everybody!
