drew on the menu . . .
mexican appetizers

lots of chips
queso/salsa/guacamole/bean dip/jalapeno cream cheese
fresh fruit
& quite an array of delectable desserts
provided by lots of my favorite people
{thanks mom, molly, vicki, shellene & amber}

amanda was a huge help all afternoon . . .

. . . joined a little later by amelia,

then all three girls stayed late

& cleaned up the entire party
my daughters ROCK!

the guest of honor stayed busy

posing for photos

most of the evening

& tossing a pinata

that wound up hitting me in the head . . .

That party rocked! You are the queen of throwing parties and gatherings. It looked perfect, per usual. Loved the food. MMMMMM!!!! Great job, mom!

Dang- I missed the pinata action! Everything looked perfect - like always!! Thanks for the good food, and the good memories, I'm sure you'll always remember the blow to the head from Drew.

The party was a blast, I can't believe you have stuff posted already, do you ever sleep? Thanks for all the yummy food and drew was very nice and missionary like, I know he'll do a great job.

The fiesta turned out fabulous! Ew...I cannot believe you quoted Full House. I think Amelia is the only person I know that STILL watches that. Good job...you're a good party-thrower {I know that isn't a word, but what the heck!}!!

Hang in there Stephanie. As the time gets closer it's going to get harder. My son is absolutely loving his mission and your son will too. It's a bitter/sweet.

I can't believe I didn't recognize "clipboard of fun" from Full House, since it is still one of my favorite shows! I am guessing Danny Tanner says it. Looks like a fun party for an awesome guy! I know he'll do a great job in Mexico!
