-Melanie fabricated steak tacos for appetizers and Chicken Mole Enchiladas. I love MOLE>>
-Heather and Scott whipped up a tasty Jicama Salad
-Cate without Josh this time due to work, brought in tasty stuffed peppers.
-Matt conjured up some yummy guacamole.
-For Dessert Jen and Brent made homemade churro's with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
