fondue

while pat and the older 3 kids were at AWANA this afternoon, i made a fun dinner

FONDUE!

{we ate dinner and THEN the chocolate...but this was the real reason for doing it in the first place...}

a pile of chocolate!!!

we just did cheese {dippers: kielbasa, apples, bread}

the prep was so FUN!


with the exception of my helper...getting into everything he could get his hands on...

aaahhhhh...heaven!

it was so fun...Christmas music playing in the background...
{and the losing Cowboys on the TV...they threatened to ruin the whole thing...but didn't...}
no one throwing up...

this little girl loses weight SO quickly!
she was sick less than 24 hours and her sweet face seems so much thinner to me!
hopefully the cheese and chocolate helped that :-)

i think everyone enjoyed it!
it was worth the time AND money {it's expensive to do fondue!}
{and sawyer thought we were all a bit crazy...just taking it all in...}

dippers for chocolate: brownies, strawberries, marshmallows and my great-grandma's pound cake that i made from scratch! YUM!

now i'm headed to the couch to watch a movie and snuggle with the love of my life!

MUCH to be thankful for tonight.
