It’s time for me to let out the big
secret: our family hosted our 1st Annual Cobbler Party this past
weekend! We have been planning this almost since the time we moved to Texas. I
was inspired by reading about a family who hosts an annual donut party. I
wanted to do something similar, but I knew donuts would be a little too
difficult for us. I racked my brain, and came up with cobbler!
Once we finally set a date for the party, we
started to put together a guest list. Since we’ve only lived here 10 months, we
decided to just invite everybody we knew. Turns out, that was a lot more people
than we expected! We invited over 250 people! :-0 We had about 105 people RSVP,
and we started to put together our party plans . . .

It
required a good deal of planning! We began our shopping on Monday, and started
baking on Thursday.

We
made a total of 28 cobblers: 2 s’more, 3 hot fudge, 4.5 apple, 4 peach, 2
gluten-free peach, 2 blackberry, 2 blueberry, 2 raspberry, 0.5
blueberry/raspberry, 2 cherry, 1 gluten-free cherry, 2 strawberry, and 1
gluten-free strawberry!

While
Mom and I worked in the kitchen, the kids worked indoors and out getting things
cleaned up, out, and decorated! Apparently they took breaks to ride on the shop
vac. J

They
did an awesome job on our garage! A friend from my Dad’s work loaned us all
these tables and chairs. Roma and Mom did an excellent job decorating them!

Inside
we also had decorations and some fun things. We had a jar of our pecans and a
jar of candy corn, and a basket for people to place their guesses of how many
were in each. I also had a basket with cards for people to fill out for a
scrapbook I’m putting together with pictures to display at next year’s cobbler
party!

After many months of planning, and lots of
hours of hands-on prep, the party day finally came! But you’ll have to read
about that tomorrow. J
