Cookies and mini éclairs
This was a little cocktail party I had for my siblings.  It's not often we can all get together and once school starts and the fall comes and some going on vacation, this was the only chance we had.  Some of the food served is pictured above.  I didn't get pictures of all the food.  Everyone brought something and when they were coming in, I was busy and didn't get pictures of everything.  I'm sorry about that part.  But, we all had a good time and the weather was nice and the tiki torches not only lit things up but kept the bugs away.  Like always, there was too much food; it's the Italian way.  We had a nice cool fancy drink and just talked and enjoyed the evening.  I would like to thank everyone for coming.  Love you all!

    1. Thank you, there was a lot more food, but I didn't get a picture of it all. No, those tiki torches were only $2.49 each at Walmart, plus you have to buy the liquid that lights it, that was only a couple of dollars too.

    1. We did. It was fun. Your Grammens brought the cookies and mini éclairs and Aunt Marian and Aunt Chris brought some food and Aunt Mary Ellen brought some wine. I served Sunset Margaritas too plus wine coolers and Cosmopolitans and beer. That was for the men. Thanks for the comment.
