I can't wait to see the look on Steve's and Keely's eyes when they see what I have in store for them for breakfast. Yes, it's the little things. I may have just started a new tradition!
Happy Thanksgiving! :)

Thanksgiving Breakfast
Although we no longer have little ones in our household, I still get a kick out of seeing the cute turkey veggie tray that Keely made a few years ago as well as the one I made last year. This year? Keely hinted for me to make these turkey-looking cinnamon rolls. Seriously? How could I resist?

A Progressive Halloween
I've always liked the idea of participating in a progressive dinner: a great way to entertain with a limited amount of work. We did just that for Halloween with our sweet friends and neighbors, the Hesters, Jonardis, and Crawfords. What a wonderful way to spend the evening!
After handing out candy for a couple of hours, we walked a few doors down to the Hesters to start. The night began in Harry Potter style as their son Noah first welcomed us. Bob and Cynthia started us off with drinks and appetizers. Both the guacamole and jalapeno poppers were delicious!
Next came the main course, just one door down at the Jonardi's house. Rick and Hilda served chili with Mexican cornbread. I would have never thought of preparing meatless chili, but it was so good! I didn't miss the meat at all, and we definitely needed to save a few calories for dessert! ;)
The night ended at our house with dessert. I made coconut bon bons as well as an orange velvet cake with cream cheese icing. This is my favorite cake to make for UT games. Now, it's my favorite cake to make for Halloween! Since both events happened last night, it was the perfect choice.
What a great night! We all agreed this is something we want to do again. And to top it off . . . UT actually won one!
