A Movable Feast

You may remember we had a large chunk of tree fall down a couple of weeks ago, and you may remember our amazing neighbors who helped clean it up. Well...we invited them over for dinner to say thank you, but they asked if we could eat over there. They have one year old twin boys, and coming here for dinner means moving a lot of stuff. If they didn't mind us invading, it seemed like a win-win. So...we made a movable feast:

 Add burgers, hash brown casserole, and homemade ice cream and you get the idea. The pan on the far end is jello, which Issa insisted we needed. I didn't have any real jello, though, so we made juice jello with Knox. I will never buy the other stuff again. It was so good!

Issa wanted to capture some of our dishes. The relish tray she arranged:

 The watermelon she and I arranged:

 The kids dressed themselves for the party:

 Issa really dressed for the occasion! Evan, well:

He was a hot mess. I particularly love the dress sandals and gym shorts. Lovely.

We had a great time. William and Evan became fast friends. They are both tanks who love balls. Issa loved playing with Andrew, who is a great snuggler and in love with books. Brad and I had a blast, too. It was the first time the two families really got together, but I just know it won't be the last.
