OK so, dinner was a smashing success. Everyone who said they would come came, and everyone had a good time. The ONLY sad part is when my cousin explained to me why he was having a small wedding and that he would be going away for a little while shortly thereafter. I almost cried, I just hugged him and HUGGED HIM! I told him I loved him, and how much I was gonna miss him. (stopping the tears that well up now) But we all had a good time otherwise. My child was SO HAPPY when they discovered it was all you can eat crab legs. There were Oysters, Clams, Shrimp, and mussels... I don't eat ANY of that. But I was happy for those who do indulge in that stuff had it available to them as all you can eat. One cousin was so excited, she said she had to start with two plates instead of just one. I love to watch her enjoy food she has such an appreciation for it. And I don't know where it all goes. She's always been thin, wish I had that gene but it seems to have skipped me. LOL!
Yesterday, I got somethings for the intimate dinner with just the immediate family tomorrow. We're not gonna do a huge fancy dinner, simple but nice. We'll present my parents with their actual Anniversary presents tomorrow. I cant wait to see them use my gift. I wont say what it is (cant remember if I've said already) just in case they know about this blog. (smiles) I gotta get to wrapping this evening. We'll see how this turns out.
But the drink of choice tomorrow will be White Russians! The best thing ever was discovering the recipe on Yes, Divas can cook's blog. Who doesn't like ice cream? I was making them at least three times a week for a minute there. I have since slowed my roll, but tomorrow is a special occasion and White Russian worthy. What's in it you ask?
Vodka
Kahlua
Vanilla Ice Cream
Blend in the blender. I like mine thick like a milk shake. Oh its so GOOD! I could drink these all day every day. I bought a BIG tub of ice cream just for this (Ice Cream Parlor size). And the warehouse size bottle of Kettle One. I couldn't find a warehouse sized Kahlua so I will have to pay BevMo a visit. (My toy store) Hopefully we wont kill each other before the night is over. I kid, I kid! We actually get a long pretty good (my Sib's and I), they just know I'm like the second mom and they need to watch out sometimes. But I love them all and would fight tooth and nail for each one of them. Here's to hoping for the best tomorrow.
