Going Away Party

Saturday night was our Going Away Party....

While I am SO excited about the adventures ahead, I can't help but be sad about all of the wonderful people I am leaving behind!

Jake & I decided to put together a party so that we could get together all of our friends.

We had friends, neighbors, co-workers, and even some of the guys J deployed with 6 years ago over.
 It was certainly a fun night!

THE MENU

I froze lemon slices with water in a muffin pan for extra large ice cubes in the lemonade

Lemon Ice Cubes

For Appetizers I wanted a little variety!

We had fruit skewers, veggie cups, and Mini Tacos (my fav!!)

For dinner we ate catered Chick-fil-A nuggets, roasted red potatoes & my mom's "world famous mac and cheese!"

And of course dessert- the best part :)

Lazy Cake Cookies

Let me just tell you, EASY and DELISH!

Jake is a huge cookie cake fan and I have tried MANY recipes. This is by far his favorite and it is by far the easiest. Literally four ingredients and you pop it in the oven!

A big thanks to all of our friends that came out! 

We will see you Californians again before you know it :)
