Wine Party

We hosted a wine-tasting party today. My friend Tracy is a wine consultant and asked if I'd host a party to help her get started. She asked the right person, because I love having parties! I even became somewhat educated on cheese, because I wasn't about to have a wine party with the wrong cheese. (Kelley didn't seem impressed when I asked if Cheez Whiz and saltines would be appropriate.) I'm not much of a wine drinker but I must say, the Riesling that we had was pretty good. We had 15 guests and the party was so much fun!

I also got some camera practice in, because food is always a good subject.

Kelley and Paul hung around for a while after everyone left. I'd like to say it's because they enjoy our company, but they really just wanted to play with Owen. Here's a clip of Kelley and Owen together...

Chris and I went to a Bunco party at Brad and Julie's last night. We dropped Owen off at my mom's for a little quality grandma time. Bunco kind of has a reputation of being an old lady game, but apparently drunk cops like to play as well. I did okay but not good enough to win anything.. Chris won five bucks (I took it).

HI Mandy! the wine party was great and you did a great job! The pics on your blog are amazing!
When I got home Kelley called me just to rub it in that very shortly after I left Owen woke up and that she got to spend some quality time with him.....she really enjoyed rubbing that in!
Looking forward to seeing Owen (oh and you guys too!) this weekend!
