breaking it in: first dinner and first party


Okay, here's the last of the kitchen posts for a little while... pretty much caught up now.  We're taking a little break from the kitchen for a few weeks to celebrate our 2nd anniversary and get our 2nd wind to finish all the little things - we have quite a lengthy punchlist, but it's the little things that seem to take the most effort to get done.  But the good news is - we have a fully functioning kitchen!  Ben's parents, sister, and nieces were in town when our granite went in.  So everyone came over that night to celebrate and break-in the new kitchen!  They brought over steak and salad and sweet potato fries.  Thanks Sterns!

Grace and Chris were writing on the still-dusty oven.
Grace is an aspiring photographer - she got a hold of my camera and took some pretty good pics.
Grace: "Ben, Shoe - Pose!"
Cuter sisters-in-law Scout and Lauren
Gabby and Grace were cooking jenga blocks in the bottom drawer, which was their oven.

Looks delicious Gabby!
 
Baking in our new kitchen for the first time - so exciting, I love it!
I was making chocolate cupcakes for Beth and Shawn's engagement party.  It was on St. Patty's Day so the chocolate cupcakes had guinness in them and Bailey's cream cheese frosting.  Yumm!
Here's a shot of the kitchen's first real party - the girls (and Chris) gathered in the kitchen as usual.  Congrats Beth and Shawn!
