We are home, got in late last night. I had such a busy day so will post more tomorrow...and begin to make my way around bloggy world to see you all. I do hope you all are well and staying warm...okay, so those of you in the more Southern/Western climes may be still be trying to stay cool but you know what I mean eh?
The trip was so nice..the girls all had great fun, the 4 parents enjoyed each other's company as always and we got to meet Meggie! She is every bit as beautiful and wonderful as you all knew she would be! More on all of this later....till then, much love, many hugs and..ohh! Ooh! It is snowing again! I LOVE snow!

WOW...those are really fabulous...but it sounds like a ton of work too lol I wouldn't let anyone eat them after that much work!
Good to hear you all had such a wonderful time. Can't wait to see some pictures. I visited Meggie's blog and saw the post she did about your visit together. Very nice!
Was glad you got to see my post about you and BD too. Welcome back sweet bunny lady! xxoo
Oh, those cheese pumpkins are the cutest! I think I may have to make some of them.
Welcome home! Those cheesy pumpkins are so cute!
Such cute pumpkins! And snow? I'm so jealous!

Wouldn't that be darling for a Thanksgiving hors d'ouvres? Thanks for the cute idea!
Yep I'm stealing the pumpkins for Thanksgiving. I was having a hard time thinking of what to take(was told not to bring anything but you know how that is). These will be perfect. Thanks so much for sharing. And I'm jealous of the snow too. I lived my first 17 years in New England, but the next 30 in Central Florida. Nothing like snow this time of year to make the holidays more special. Glad you're back. Missed you.
Soo cute! Glad your back.
Those are adorable, sweet chick!! I'm doing it! Hope you had a nice rest, lady.
Smooches,
Connie
oh my gosh! They are too darn cute!

That is the cutest little appetizers ever! I don't know how I missed it, but on the previous post, you've got the most precious blue and white tassel. Oooo, I love it!
Glad you are back safely! Those tiny pumpkins are adorable! Sally
You were away! I was missing your posts!
These are adorable, easy sounding and so yummy, too!
Welcome home; those pumpkins are cute!
Those pumpkins are very cute! And it sounds pretty simple to make! Glad you had a great time. Though I am a little (well, ok a lot) jealous that you met Meggie....since I wish you could have come down here and we could have met! Some day soon I hope...
Hugs,
Penny

Loved your comment today!!! YOu moved into the closet ---- soo funny! me too!!!! I would die for that closet or the dressing room, what is that all about? God, some people really don't know what to do with all their money. AND I am that nosey too - why are they selling????????????

Welcome back Susie Q and those lil pumpkins look so festive.
Janet
Even I might be able to pull those cute little pumpkins off!
That is so cute!
Can't wait to hear more about you trip.
Those little cheese balls are so cute!
How cute is that!!! I may have to try this. Last year I attempted to make penguins out of black olives...something I saw on Jen's blog I believe. Needless to say...I made 6 of the silly things...took a picture to prove I had done it...and said "never again". Way too much trouble for me...but they sure were cute.
Okay...I've been a bad blogger. Now I'm going back to re-read about your trip and French Lick and Larry Bird.
Yummy! I could do these! Welcome back ~ I missed ya!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
