Spaghetti Thursday #20

OH, MY! I has been tooooo long since our last spaghetti Thursday! The summer was just busy. Then in the fall Amy had soccer practice every Thursday afternoon. Although we did have spaghetti between May and December, it wasn't always on a Thursday, and if it was it was just us!

Thursday, December 27, 2012

Attendance: William, Laurie, Mary, Amy, Mandy, Vincent, Maria, Jill, Jackson, and Kathryn

Menu: Dipping bread, sausage and pepperoni sauce with penne pasta, salad, garlic bread, and WINE!

We had a great time visiting and afterwards we went to the decorated dancing lights house in Pin Oak. Since it was after Christmas the wait time was very short! The kids always love seeing this house.
