Day 303, December 18th

On Sunday, we invited Ryan's parents, Grandma and Uncle up to the house since his Grandma hadn't seen the house since we have been married and I took over the place!! I am always nervous to cook for Ryan's parents, with his dad being a chef and all, so it's always a stressful event for me.  I made the popovers from BLT that we had for our anniversary dinner last month, and was beyond nervous that they wouldn't turn out.  Well luckily they did, and they were delicious! Also on my last trip to Costco I got a basically endless supply of sweet potatoes, so we made mashed sweet potatoes with stuffed pork chops, which we made for my dad and Sara when they came over.
Dinner was good, the company was good.  We got to use all the various wine glasses we got for our wedding as well as some of the serving plates, so that added to my excitement of course.  Really the highlight for me was everyone bonding with our children.  I know that Ryan's family thinks I'm a bit kooky for my deep love for my cats, but after tonight, I could see that they all too understood why I loved them so!
