As everyone knows, the Olympics have begun. To kick them off right, we had an awesome theme night with Briant and Camille. We did an international night and watched the opening ceremonies. it was wonderful. here is the night!

Briant and I getting very excited about our delicious spread of joy.

Mark turned some of his old dance medals into some Olympic medals for us to wear!

Briant getting ready to have some fun in his fun shirt

The food! we had mini doughnuts to represent Holland and/or Germany. (during my research I found claims that both originated this delectable dessert)

Pot stickers to represent China

mini Bruschetta to represent Italy!

Quesadillas to represent Mexico/Spain!

and mini dogs to represent the U.S.A.!

all the flags we could round up - U.S., Mexico, and China

and to top the night off, Mark made a DUTCH oven cobbler

mmmmmmm!

It was a great night! we had great food and enjoyed the opening ceremonies!

It's a Fiesta!!

Last week we decided to start a new tradition with Briant and Camille. We are going to have theme nights!!! to kick it off, we had a Mexican Fiesta!! Here we are posing and dancing with the Mexican flag!

Mark and I were in charge of the meal. We made yummy quesadillas! Quite delicious!

After dinner, we enjoyed a wonderful pinata! It's a bull! (for future reference, Target is the best place to find cheap and cute and funny pinatas.



FYI: trying to hit a pinata in heals is not the most graceful thing i have every done.

After the pinata, we enjoyed a wonderful little film called "The Three Amigos." You may have heard of it.


After the movie, Camille was getting our dessert ready and Mark and Briant were playing a little game. Don't you just love the care and respect they show to their symbols of love and commitment to the girls they love?

Camille workin her magic at the deep fryer!

Fried Ice Cream!!! yum!!

I ate every single bite! it was so so good!

After dessert we played a little Rummikub.

I think Mark and I need to work on our Rummikub skills because Briant and Camille each won and Mark and I never did. ...... Next time..... you just wait!!

It was a fantastic night!!! any ideas for our next theme night? Leave your ideas in the comments!
