We had a typically busy weekend. Saturday was sports day. H had volleyball. She made it over the net several times, which was very exciting. Brother had soccer, he got some goals. DH and H had karate, I don't know what they did, broke a board or something :)Saturday night we went on a date. We went to Olive Garden and then to Sams club.
Today we had some friends over for dinner. It turned out that Lu's baby wohbiks teacher is a member in another ward. Then she became Grandma's Silver Sneaker's teacher and they've become friends and she discovered the connection. Her husband served a mission in France. Mom thought it would be fun to have them come over for dinner and also our friends Nikko and fam since her husband also served in France. As it turned out they served in the exact same mission. Which is fun. So we picked tonight, and wah lah, a taste of France in our very own living room was enjoyed by all. The B family have two kids a girl who is 10 and who got along well with H and a boy who is 7 and he and brother and Nikko's boys all played well. Which was nice.
Dinner was yummy. We started with piroshki for an appetizer, which is Russian but that's what mom wanted and everyone liked them. Then we had potato/leak soup. Yumm. Followed by a delish salad. Then savory chicken crepes, a cheese course and finally dessert. We did it french style sitting at the table for well over an hour with courses.(which is practically fast food in Europe but longish for us) Mom also had a fun quiz before dinner about France.
The evening was very pleasant and a nice ending to the weekend.

oohlala what fun
...you're a busy lady. And doesn't it seem like such a small world sometimes??
That dinner sounded REALLY GOOD!! I'm thinking about moving to Texas, buying a house next door to you, and inviting myself into your every waking moment!
J'aime bien la cuisine francaise! Those crepes have my mouth watering and I must make some this week!
FUNNY! The word verification has moi at the end, which means "me" in French. :-)
What a fun time it must have been for everyone.
The Church truly does make the world a very small place.
Would you possibly be willing to post your recipe for the Russian appetizer. Since my girls are Russian, I'm always looking for ways to keep their heritage alive for them. I'd love to make those for them!
