Dutch Oven

Last week, my parents invited everyone over for some yumm-o Dutch Oven cooking!  mmmmmmmm!!!  We were a little late since it was after one of our swim classes, and as I got out of my car, the entire neighborhood smelled like my grandparents house.  My mouth immediately started watering!!!  My mom had slaved ALL DAY to cook us such a wonderful meal. 

While we waited for the food, the kids colored.

Then it was time for the delish food! 

My sister-in-law Jennie made this cool ‘ombre drink.  It was really cool that the colors stayed separated.

We had chicken and potatoes for the main meal.
