Meatballs!

Do you have friends that you care about dearly but never seem to get to spend a lot of time with them? We do.. our friends the Ruzzi's. Busy kids and busy adults keep us from getting together as much as we would like, but when we do we always have such a fun time. We went over there for a "Christmas in July" dinner. (OK... I know, its August 1st, but we couldn't find a time in July!)

Why "Christmas in July"? Well, it is a Ruzzi Christmas tradition to make Grandma Ruzzi's homemade Meatballs and Sauce. We have had them several times and let me tell you, they are AMAZING! So amazing that Mike and Christine decided to start a tradition of doing them twice a year, and invited us this year to join them. Of course.. we said YES!

It tastes even better than it looks.. and it looks amazing!

Evelyn and Matthew (they have a Matthew as well!) gobbling it all up at the "kids" table! Evelyn loves "Mr. Mike's" meatballs!

I didn't get a lot of pictures, probably because I was either eating or chatting with Mike and Christine!

We are thankful for our friends... and for Grandma Ruzzi's meatballs!
