62. Booty Shakin'

So I promised that I would capture video of my kids dancing for my 101 things so here it is. You may want to pause the music on my playlist. Enjoy!!!

22. Have lunch with friends from my old ward

Noah, Jill & Emily & Danger, Daria

On Friday I decide to host a luncheon with some friends from our old ward, like we used to do. I woke up Friday and it was snowing and I thought people were going to cancel. Luckily the only one to cancel was my friend Carrie who decided to stay home since she didn't know when her daughters school was going to be released. Daria came with her 3 kids. Noah, Danger, and Aubri. Jill came and boy were my kids so glad to see her. Emily just loves to chat and Mordecai wanted to walk like crazy to her. I made broccoli cheese potato soup and cheddar bay biscuits. It was good to see them and catch up, so I hope we can keep this going even though we all have moved.
