Ison Chicks Know How to Par-tay!

With Tawnya coming into town from Arizona, it just seemed like a good excuse to get together and party again. We rounded up as many Ison Chicks as we could to have dinner, gab and eat.

We tried to recruit locals and outta-towners alike.

All in all, we had about 13+ Ison Chicks come to party.... Megan (& girls), Tiffany, Tawnya (& kids), Amber (& Sterling), Candice (& Levi), Karen, Amber Munt, Lisa McKinley (& girls), Melanie (& Lydia), Aunt Jana, Chanel, Aunt LoraDawn & Me.

That was risky. Did I miss anyone?

We almost got Emma & Abbey to come, but our day and timing didn't quite work out for their schedules. Bummer.

We had soup and rolls for dinner...an ok rice soup made by me and a DE.LIC.IOUS soup made by Candice... a cheesy potato chicken chowder to be exact.

As we started to snack on the treats we brought to share, Aunt LoraDawn made a shocking discovery...... not nearly enough chocolate was on the snack table! Jana was already too close to stop at any stores, so Tiffany was called in for back-up. As luck would have it, she had just walked into a grocery store to purchase a treat. She came minutes later with a variety of M&M's to share. Whew, chocolate crisis averted!

After dinner and as we continued to snack, we used my "Conversation Starter" question jar. We took turns asking a question and then allowed anyone who wanted to, to share their answer.

Some examples of questions;

-What do you think is the best thing about growing up?

-What is your first memory?

-If you won a lifetime supply of candy, what would you like it to be?

-What is your favorite of the 5 senses?

-What is your favorite holiday?

-What chore do you dislike doing the most?

-If you had to live in a cartoon for one day, which one would it be and why?

-What do you worry about the very most?

-Describe your perfect day.

It was fun to hear everyone's answers and get to know one another a little bit better.

We were happy to have Melanie and Lydia there for the girl's night out.

Sterling and Levi liked being a part of the girly party too.

Most everyone stayed until about midnight.... except for a few of us crazies who were up until around 3am!...I think. It's all a blur now, I can't remember for sure. :)

We missed all who weren't able to attend. But be sure, we gabbed and snacked for you all!
