It's been a whirlwind weekend. Friday and Saturday during the day were spent getting ready for the housewarming/welcome home party, which turned out to be a smashing success if I do say so myself. I had a great time and I think everyone else did too. Almost all of the food got eaten which is always a good sign.
On a funny note, I did take some pictures but they don't include any people...just food. I'm sure others will post some people pics on their blogs.
Here's what we ate:

Cheese Ravioli in Marinara

Marinated Cheese

Honeydew Melon wrapped in Proscuitto

Italian Meatballs

A Fruit Plate (made by Brooke)

Seven-Layer Italian Dip

Bruschetta (Blue made this...what a guy!)

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes stuffed with Pesto

Cheesecake Thumbprint Cookies
Grapes, Figs, and Chocolate covered Strawberries
Ginger Star Cookies

Buttermilk Cake with chocolate and strawbery filling iced in Almond buttercream and topped with chocolate covered strawberries
Yum-ola! I had a blast putting it all together and I can't wait to do it again.
