international dinner 2

Hannah and Chelsea love to cook together. They love to plan and prep and cook and serve. They are cute girls:)

Yesterday they spent several hours in the kitchen getting everything ready and just right and then they served a very delicious dinner.

For their appetizer they took us to England for some fish and chips. Greasy yumminess.

The entree was from Italy, we had fettachini and enselata! Again two thumbs up:)

We ended the meal with a trip south of the border to Mexico for some Mexican bread pudding and Mexican hot chocolate, both of which were simply divine.

The adult table :) They set the tables and put out place cards so everyone would know where to sit. They put Sierra and Jenna in the kitchen with the kids:) and themselves at the fancy table. Which I thought was so cute.

After we had a nice family home evening with a lesson and game that they had prepared.

Good job girls!
