Sushi Party!!

I'm finally no longer full from our amazing Sushi party and thus, will post about it :-)  Amy and I split a groupon deal for a sushi party for 8 people as a birthday gift to each other.  We each invited three people and booked our date with the sushi chef and provided some drinks and appetizers and that's it! It turned out SO much better than I could have even expected-the chef was personable and skilled and cooked non-stop for us for FOUR hours.  He also taught us to make our own rolls which was fun but didn't taste nearly as good as his-my rice got overworked and gummy and it was pretty nasty.  Thankfully, he just kept the good stuff coming and we were SO full we had trays full of leftovers.  Would definitely recommend The Sushi Go Guy!

Our Gracious Hosts

Matt wasn't so happy with the sushi he made himself ;-)

This was Marissa "moaning in joy" over how good this sushi was!

Dessert Sushi with mango, strawberries and kiwi!!

Blizzard Sleepover!

2 Blizzards in one week required some getting out of the house (my extrovertedness required it). so, last Sunday around lunch time we headed out to my SIL's house. The roads were pretty bad so after making the trip once I did not want to make it again that night so we spent the night and the entire next day there! Ella, Hannah, and Christopher were ECSTATIC to have their first sleepover together and fought over whose room Ella would sleep in. We had a great time watching the super bowl, playing games, eating yummy food, sledding, and relaxing. So glad to have family who are also friends close by!
