Top Chef Finalist

The concept for this dinner was nothing but appetizers. Out own version of tapas. We ended up with something akin to a main course with the --pasta dish--, but mostly everything else was a pure appetizer.

We inadvertently told the kids that we'd use the chocolate fountain (purchased for Christmas) the next time we had company, so it made another appearance tonight.

After dinner, there was some play on the Wii. Eric was able to master the intracies of Rayman enough to beat Robin (though Chris is still master).

After Wii and dessert, we put the kids down. Olivia was terribly excited to be at a slumber party with her cousins & talked for much of the evening, wearing out the older ones. She eventually fell asleep just before the card game ended. Thus assuring herself of staying up late and a sleepover (which also please her coursins).

The card game was a thorough thrashing of the men by the ladies.
