Yesterday was our 1st Annual Hoedown Throwdown Harvest Party (say that 10 times fast) and it was an absolute blast! Philip & I hosted it at our house along with the fabulous Andrew & Stephanie Tidwell. It was a fun night of food (lots of yumminess), games, and just chit chatting and cutting up with friends and family. The theme was western so everyone came dressed as cowboys & cowgirls, farmers & farmettes, farm animals and throw in a random Winnie the Pooh and BAM, there ya go! I will say that the creative award must go to Charles Marshall for covering his entire wardrobe in glue and sticking cotton EVERYWHERE. He was a sheep... hilarious! Also the Ridout family were adorable... together they were Charlotte's Web... I will say they are the cutest pig and spider i've ever seen!
While all the fun was going on we had a chili cook-off and everyone's chili was absoluetely delish! Everyone tried a taste of every chili (we had 6 entries) and picked their fave and cast their vote! The winner was thee Ms. Stacie Snipes with her superb White Chicken Chili. It was the talk of the night. A close 2nd place was set by the one & only Carol Brown (my mother-in-law!).
We had a blast and can't wait to have the 2nd annual next year!
