What my uncle Bill has been waiting for...

...apparently for years?! Who knew? I guess everyone but me! My auntie Jan taught me how to make her homemade spaghetti sauce and meatballs about 4 years ago and I have been making them ever since - just never for my aunt and uncle? How could this be? I really have no clue?! I don't make it very often, as it is such a tedious process, but when I do, I guess I don't ever ask them to come over to try it! Maybe, because I am secretly nervous that it won't ever be as good as hers (even though I do think I do a pretty good job capturing all of the flavors).

Well, Sunday night, we had my dad and his golf buddies over for dinner! My uncle happen to be one of the buddies this time around - so he was able to enjoy the food! FINALLY! My aunt Jan came along for the ride and was the true test to how good it really was! They both loved it and I couldn't have been more proud! It is one thing to cook for people that don't have too much of an expectation, but with them it was different for me!

My dad and his friends also loved the food and thanked me over and over for such a nice treat! I even sent them home with some homemade chocolate chip cookies (Kyan and I baked for hours on Sunday - think we made about 9 dozen cookies, which sounds like a lot, but for 8 guys, was nothing!) Sad to say, but only a few are left at home, and those disappear just as fast!

Here are a few pictures of everyone enjoying the food!


Kyan devoured his meatballs (think he ate like 5)! Notice he left the noodles alone, something he usually gobbles up!

Everything sounds so yummy Jenni. As a matter of a fact I think I may have to invite myself over to try it sometime. Get slaving in the kitchen again cuz my birthday is coming up and I couldn't think of anything better to eat ;). Or if you want I can just take the cookies instead- HE HE.

Your house looks so great with lots of people in it. I think I see lots of parties in the Roseland's future! WAHOOOO!
