butter*ball

today had 2 themes ...

food and football

each year stacey's work gives out turkeys at the holidays.

because we go back to WI for Christmas -
and taking a turkey on a 3 hour adventure just seems like a lot of work -
we end up making a turkey just to have a little fun ...
and to put our cooking to the test.

for whatever reason
stacey decided this weekend was the PERFECT opportunity to make the turkey.
so he planned it out and we put together a fantabulous meal ;)

AND ...
after seeing the turkey thawing in our refrigerator on new years ...
our friends just couldn't pass up the opportunity
for some down home barnett cooking ;)
HA!
so they came over to join in on the fun as well



the food was very tasty -
nice job stacey - you're becoming a pro

the entertainment was plentiful -
as you can imagine with 4 boys and emma together at a table



and THEN ...
to top it off
we got a packers win -
THE PACKERS ARE HEADED TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!
and oddly enough ...
my boys have decided they are packer fans again ;)
so ...
GO PACK GO!
