Good Friends, Food and Alcohol

Last night I got to use the buffet warmer that I got for Xmas from my parents because we had our friends over for a nacho bar. We had shredded chicken, beef, nacho cheese and all the fixings to make your own nachos. We also built a fire in the backyard and then roasted s’mores after dinner. I love having people over and entertaining. There is nothing better than being around good friends with some good food and alcohol to have a good time together. Our friends, the Reitz’s, are expecting a baby in four weeks and we were all hoping, ok maybe I was hoping, that she would go into labor last night so I could witness the labor. I think that might have been pretty neat to see…kind of like a science experiment. I guess I only would have been able to actually see it if they didn’t make it to the hospital in time and our friend had to deliver right here in our house. Before our friends got here I told Andy how neat that would be and his comment was “Who would clean up the mess?” Mmmm…didn’t think about. According to our other friend who came over last night if she did go into labor she would have to have the baby here because we live five hours from civilization. Well, that isn’t actually true as we would only have been a solid 30 minutes from the hospital that she has chosen to have her baby at. Either way I still think it would have been cool to witness the birth of baby Reitz. When we have guests over like this Madison and Izzy get very excited and they were up and playing until midnight. That is late for them since they normally go to bed by 10pm, but with all the excitement there was no way they were going to go to bed. They are just like little kids. The great thing about that is they slept all day today. I told Andy that with that kind of an effect on the dogs maybe we should have people over for dinner more often.
