Wagon Wheel Chili Cook-Off!

Saturday was another reason why I love the block we live on! We had a Wagon Wheel Chili Cook-Off with all of the neighbors and what a fun night it was!

I got to spend some time with the Westphal Family Saturday morning attempting to help with their Christmas card picture but I'm sad to report that my camera skills failed me, I panicked and had to shoot in AUTO. Ahhhh, how embarrassing! Although Chris' photoshop skills helped some, I doubt Nora would give her true opinion. Nora? We will make more changes!! ...side note, her kids are adorable!!

I stopped by James' house after and hung out for awhile! Such a nice visit but it left me wanting to spend the afternoon cuddled in her bed, napping. Instead, I headed off to Target and Costco to pick up some Chili cook-off ingredients. In case anyone is wondering, the holidays ARE upon us! I have no idea how I managed to escape Costco without a grocery cart crash. What a traffic jam! I was soooo tired by the time I got home and definitely didn't feel up to the party. But I somehow whipped up 4 batches of corn bread, chopped a ton of onions (tear), chopped chives, etc. and was ready for the party just in time!

It turned out to be such a wonderful evening and as always, so great to visit with our fabulous neighbors! Terri even made an entire crock pot of Vegetarian Chili especially for me! It was so delicious that I actually had 2 bowls full...how sweet of her!

Now I am unsure if we will ever be able to leave Wagon Wheel one day!

  1. I completely disagree...if auto was such a horrible thing then the pictures would have been bad news.

    Remember my friend, you and Chris single handedly created a perfect shot for our Christmas card. Strong work Morrison family!
