3rd Annual Crawfish Party






We had our 3rd Annual "Chadie" Crawfish Boil at our house this past Saturday. My my my...what a turn out we had!!! The confirmation number on the evite said that 93 people were attending, and and I am fairly sure 92 people showed up!!! It turned out to be one of the prettiest days of the year. The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. Chad (and his trusty helper, Rob) cooked 150 pounds of crawfish and almost every last mudbug was eaten. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the kiddos LOVED the bouncy house. What an AWESOME investment that turned out to be! Here is a funny story. I checked the mail on Monday and we had a card addressed to Annemarie from our neighbors. The note on the inside read "Dear Haley's...we saw the big party at your house on Saturday and figured it was a 1 year old birthday party for Annemarie. We wanted to come over and drop off her gift in person, but did not want to distrupt the party." Enclosed was a gift card to Walmart. How funny is that???? I had to explain to our neighbors that is was not her birthday and it was a crawfish boil that was about 3 times as big as it has been in years past. I felt like a jerk for not inviting them. Oops! The party was even so awesome that it caused Reenie Depoy to go into labor!! She and Eric welcomed a handsome baby boy, Tripp Wesley, into the world at 1:20am on March 29th!! YIPPEE!!!! Congrats again Depoy Family!!!
