how to throw a party

One thing the Foster household knows how to do is throw a party. This weekend was the epitome of party party.

Step 1: Fried Chicken Date Night.

Some of our good friends Chase and Macy came over for dinner on Friday night and we had no idea what to cook. First challenge, we didn't have a lot of time and I'm still trying to expand my little knowledge of recipes. Second challenge, Macy is a lot like me and is really particular about what she eats, so we knew we had to make something simple that everyone likes.
 

Mistake number one, I let Kevin choose and cook dinner. Nah, it really wasn't that bad (we ate it for leftovers yesterday), but it was definitely a 'man's dish'. 

We made Homestyle Chicken Tender Bake. As you can see, its a combination of mashed potatoes, Publix fried chicken tenders, corn, and chicken gravy. Put it in the stove for 30 minutes and cover with cheese. It was an experience to say the least.  We knew Chase would enjoy it but we bought extra chicken tenders just for Macy :) 

The rest of the evening we just sat around and talked for hours, we really needed that. We are so grateful for these two in our lives and we all agree we are what each other needed at the right time and the right place. I love how God does that. They are getting hitched next summer and I love hearing all the wedding details falling into place. 

We made her try the dinner and this is her hilarious reaction!

 

Step 2: Georgia Bulldawg Madness.

Watching the SEC Championship Georgia v. Alabama was already on my list to do, and Kev and I briefly discussed having a few friends over to watch the game. However, a few became several which became a party in like 2 hours! You should have seen us we were scrambling all over like 2 hours before the game, trying to get stains out of our apartment (which pinterest is awesome) and running to Walmart for more food. I was excited yet nervous because our apartment is a one bedroom tiny little space and we were about to have a fiesta! 

 

Everything ended up working out great, except for the final score :( but we managed to get 15 people in our tiny apartment and plenty of food for everyone. I'd say it was a success (the party part). Too bad our bulldawgs lost the game by a 5 second difference. We were pretty rowdy though, hopefully our neighbors don't hate us too much!

 

Step 3: Zombie Tradition.

Every Sunday we've hosted Walking Dead parties at our home, and this week was the Mid-Season Finale! Its usually me and a bunch of guys (and Macy) and I'll feed them dinner before hand and we watch it together. This week I made Chili in the crockpot, which was Yumma. Sometimes I'll make sweets for after. 

Last night's episode was so intense! I mean the show is already pretty gruesome and gory but it was so intense last night. And as per usual on Sunday nights now I have this intense nightmares that usually wake me out of my sleep five minutes before my alarm. At least I'll have a break for a couple weeks until it returns in February!

Result: Exhausted Monday Morning. 

We had a really great weekend! The best part is that our house is still really clean, which makes me happy :) 

We are party animals what can we say? 

Sincerely yours, 

Mrs. Foster
