Supper Club Catch-Up...With Hyphens

Wow...I'm running behind on Supper Club posts. I guess all the turkey & dressing has me dragging a bit. So, here we go...

Sunday-before-last, Supper Club was held at the Griner's. They served up some delicious fall-off-the-bone ribs (I don't know why I'm hung up on hyphens in this post...according to Kevin, it's usually exclamation points), peas, corn-on-the-cob (there we go again) and biscuits. For dessert, Stacy had both a pecan pie & chocolate pie with ice cream.

Supper was delicous, but unfortunately, it was completely forgotten about once Savannah, Tyson & their "visitor" provided our entertainment for the night. I never knew an about-to-give-birth-next-month woman could jump like that!! Even after the visitor was kicked out of the house, Patches continued to entertain us!

Last night, Supper Club was at the Hammock's. With a hard-to-follow meal at the Griner's and Thanksgiving just a few days before, I decided to not even fool with trying to match up with those meals. So, I slung a frozen lasagna & some breadsticks in the oven and called it a meal! Of course, I did make the most important part of the dinner...dessert! We had a choice of peanut butter pie or strawberry shortcake to satisfy our sweet tooth. And, some of us, had both ;) !!

We're Just Full Of It...

...Surprises that is!! Yes, these week's Supper Club was ANOTHER big surprise. This time it was a surprise Baby Shower for the Griner family.

Beth prepared a Thanksgiving feast for the big event including turkey, dressing, turnips, sweet potato souffle, macaroni & cheese and yeast rolls. For dessert, there were three different kinds of pie to choose from including pecan, chocolate and apple.

After getting our bellies full, it was time for presents.
They received so many nice things to help them get ready for their new little arrival.
And, we were even serenaded with a little guitar music while Stacy opened presents...
After shower presents, Stacy still had more gifts to unwrap....late birthday presents! This family name photo frame was the hit of the night & great gift idea from Shannon...
Kevin, Stacy, Findlay & Riley: We are so happy to have you as part of our Supper Club family. You are absolutely some of greatest friends we could ever ask for and we are thankful to have you in our lives. Baby Ben is going to be a very blessed little boy to be born into the Griner family. He will have such loving & devoted parents, and siblings that will be there for him always. We cannot wait to meet this new little bundle of joy and welcome him whole-heartedly into our Supper Club family and into our hearts. We love ya'll!

Surprise...No...Yes, Surprise!

Supper Club this week was at the Mason's and was full of surprises! What started off as a supposed-to-be surprise birthday party for Stacy ended up surprising us when the birthday girl wasn't able to make it due to being out of town. And, this was a surprise to me when I showed up bearing her gift! Tracy cooked a fabulous meal of boston butt, corn-on-the cob, pineapple casserole, macaroni & cheese and cheesy garlic biscuits. We had both cake & brownies with ice cream for dessert. With ALL the food Tracy cooked, we were surprised when no one was able to make it for different reasons except Shannon, Molly & me.

Sunday night, Caroline eagerly awaited everyone's arrival so that she could reveal her new surprise...
That's right, our Supper Club family is growing again! The Mason's will happily greet their new bundle of joy sometime around June 18th, which is also Tadd's birthday. It's going to be great having all of these little babies around to snuggle with soon.

What a wonderful surprise!
