Anderson's 3rd Annual Barn Party

The weather was absolutely gorgeous for our 3rd Barn Party - 80 degrees, sunny with a decent breeze. I took Friday off to clean and decorate the barn up with the help of my dear friend Linda. We accomplished a ton and all I had to do was wait for the round table to be delivered and decorate the tables. We wound up with 55 friends and family coming up to enjoy my chili, DJ's pulled pork & BBQ chicken, and tons of wonderful dishes & desserts that everyone brought out. I attempted to host the sack races but without John there to get the kids pumped up, it just wasn't the same! The bon fire was nice at toasty when the cooler evening air settled in (thanks Ed for manning the fire!). Everyone loved David's MP3 music selection and we even got in some dancing (after several shots of Yager & Patron). I just love having everyone come out to relax and enjoy eachother's company. My mom says I'm becoming more and more like her (and that's a great thing!) in loving to entertain and host parties.
So with another annual party under my belt, I'll be thinking and planning for next year!
