My sister Katrina's Update

Some of you know my sister, Katrina, who lives in West Virginia. She just emailed me what they did for their ward party.

"We had a Chili Cook off and Trunk or Treat at Church yesterday (Saturday). And to my surprise, I got "Best Overall" for the Chili I made. Meaning it was considered to be the best Chili there! And there were 25 or more crockpots full of different kinds of chili and soup. I used Stephanie's (Mrs.101) recipe for Winter Chili in her 101 Things to do with Ground Beef book. I was so excited to win. I won a medal with a picture of a pot full of Chili. Thanks Steph! :)

Cinderella Beka!

Afterwards, we had a trunk or treat, where the kids go outside in the parking lot and trick or treat in the trunk of everyone's car. It was quite fun! Beka enjoyed every minute of it. This was her first Halloween she has really gotten into and she just loves her costume! She is looking forward to the Gym Daycare Costume Party on Wednesday and trick or treating for Halloween on Friday. She's growing up so fast and I'm enjoying every minute of it!"

Katie called me Saturday morning asking for a good chili recipe. I was glad to hear my chili did okay! :-)
