Oktoberfest 2007

Saturday night we had our 2nd annual Oktoberfest at our house. It included delicious German bratwurst and Bockwurst + my mom's secret recipe for Sauerkraut + German Potato salad + Apple Streudel + Linzer Torte + Good friends + fun games - the German beer - the children + our friend who dressed up as a German (notice the picture below as he is wearing dark socks with birkenstocks and bavarian sweater. He got the costume just perfect) = a really great night!!!!


Here is our special german visitor.

Is that Mark in the Kitchen? I had to take a photo since it's always a memorable moment when he is doing the dishes. He has many wonderful qualities and talents but cleaning the kitchen just isn't one of them.


Some of the fun friends that came to share in the festivities.

How funny that we featured each other's husbands on the same night. Thanks for a terrific party! I loved it. A little too much. The food was DELISH!
