with biscuits and HOMEMADE pie for lunch
and Dinner was no let down.
We had beef on a bun with 2 salads and dessert.

the hall is smaller and has a more intimate feel.
Most of the girks there are family & friends so loved one would pop in.

sometimes takes me longer as I pause for the good parts - 
Anyways i found this site

i used the '&' so it would count for both 
A little cheater pants or brilliant?

may try a different technique next time ...


Today - when I was supposed to be cleaning 
(after I made a different layout)
I took the kids to A&W

Alex loves lego men 
a good portion of his Christmas presents were Lego men ...
