HIGHLAND LAKES MOMs – November Supper Club  “THANKSGIVING FALL FEAST”

Highland Lakes MOMs Supper Club gathered on Wednesday night, November 12^th, for a very special THANKSGIVING FALL FEAST.  Our meal was a pot luck dinner featuring specialty dishes from kitchens all across the neighborhood, including two delicious meat entrees:  an amazing Balsamic Cranberry-Crusted Beef Rib Roast and a tasty Garlic Prime Rib.  Other moms rounded out the menu with a delectable array of sides including corn bread stuffing, cranberry sauce, hashbrown casserole, macaroni and cheese casserole, baked corn, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, broccoli salad, and tasty dinner rolls.  Dinner was topped with an assortment of decadent desserts, including chocolate bourbon pecan pie, chocolate drizzle cookies, caramel pecan crunch cake, cheesecake, apple pie, and pumpkin swirl cupcakes.

The food served during our Thanksgiving Fall Feast was absolutely divine – but the fellowship was even better!  What a wonderful group of friends and neighbors we have to be thankful for in Highland Lakes!

HIGHLAND LAKES KIDS – Fall “Playdate in the Park”

Highland Lakes MOMs hosted our Fall “Playdate in the Park” on November 11th, which was a wonderful success!   The park was full of kids of all ages having a great time!  From the monkey bars to the swings, preschoolers gathered on the playground, while older kids played football and tag on a nearby field.  It was a wonderful day full of great fun, and we look forward to hosting another special event for the kids soon!
