GNO Blessings

I know I've said it before, but seriously God has truly blessed me with the best group of girl friends. How we all came together and have remained such good friends is such a God thing. He orchestrated it all and it's exactly what we all need- a great group of Christian girls that can support each other in every life stage. We have soo much fun together and I always leave with my stomach hurting because I have laughed so hard!!






We had our First Annual Girls' Night Out Ornament Exchange (1st annual because it will become our annual tradition!). We had dinner at Carrabba's and did the ornament exchange afterwards. Dinner was AMAZING; although, we had the most awkward waiter...I mean, he gave us the creeps!







All the girls at GNO



Suzette & Lane




We even had two new girls at our GNO...we love having new girls! Keely and I went to high school together and her co-worker Katie came too.





One of my favorite gals on the planet- Lane!



We met through blogging and I just LOVE that girl!!






Me & Keely







Our ornaments...I originally had a cute reindeer one but Danielle stole it! Haha!



But I ended up with a really cute orange one.






Danielle and Suzette...and my original ornament!








And with holiday parties filling up everyone's calendars, I thought I'd pass along a new recipe...in case you've got some potlucks in your future.



The Gamecock Queen posted this dip recipe on her blog and she raved how wonderful it was and how easy. Well, if you know me, I love the combination of wonderful and easy!






And let me just tell you, she was right!!






I don't know what it's called- I called it pizza dip.



Oh ya'll...it's yummy!!!











At our girls' lunch yesterday, I made one of my staple recipes...corn dip.



The girls loved it and so do I. I've posted the recipe before- check here if you're wanting an easy, yummy dip recipe.
