Past 4 days = BUSY BEE'S!!!

Between my monthly Kitchen Queen parties, the Craft Fair being this weekend, company coming into town, fashion shows, baby showers, & birthday's, I would say this momma has been keeping busy the past few days!

Thursday was Kitchen Queens! We all brought a dip! I brought this fabulous apple dip that was first introduced to me the day after I had Avery. Our wonderful friends Amber and Josh came up to the hospital with TONS of food and the dip was the desert and was served with apples. It was delish! To make this recipe you will need: 1, 8 oz package of creme cheese softened, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 tbs of vanilla, & 6 oz of heath bar crumbles (you can find by the chocolate chips). Mix together and serve with apples. I absolutely love this dip, and although it is very bad for you, it's a HUGE hit at parties. So try it! There were all kinds of dips from pumpkin dip to olive dip to pizza dip and even smore dip! We all had a ball as usual. I love my girlfriends!

Friday me & Avery went craft fairing with my parents. I haven't been feeling all that well and have had a cold but we managed to go anyway. It's a huge deal in my town this time of the year and people from all over come to them. I love the cool breeze, the fall leaves changing colors, all the people, the smell of Kettle Corn, & all the fun booths of goodies! It's something we have done every year as kids and I hope to continue the tradition with Avery. I think I pretty much bought her a bow or hat at every booth I found. They were WAY cute and very reasonable!

Saturday was the fashion show at our local Boutique that I love. I know the owner from going into her store so she kindly asked if Avery would participate in their Fashion Show where they were showing their fall line. My Aunt & cousin came into town from Tennesee for the weekend so they made it in time to watch her. She did wonderful and even cracked some smiles on the cat walk, hehe! We spent the evening at my parents eating dinner with all of them.

Now onto Sunday! The family came over for a bit today to see our house and to see Avery's baby room. I also had a baby shower to attend for my sweet gilfriend Lane who I just adore. She is having a baby boy, JUDSON, in November. Isn't that the cutest name? She got so many fun things and I saw a ton of girlfriends that I know! We had a good time.

My sister in law Missy's Birthday celebration was tonight at my in-laws! We all had her choice of meal, lasagna along with some sides and lemon cake for desert! It was great as usual. My mother in law is one FABULOUS cook! I love her! We all enjoyed spending time together and laughed at the babies and opened presents! It was fun!
