Drew's 20th Birthday Weekend

It was a fun weekend at our house. 
Can't believe the little baby that made us parents is now 20 years old. 
Notice the love between Jonah and his big brothers...HA!
Caleb looks innocent, but actually wouldn't let him up!
Dinner was a entertaining and we are already looking 
forward to having them home next time.
Happy birthday Andrew!
Love, MOM

Christie's Sweet Chili



2 pounds ground chuck
1 pound chili brick
2-12 ounce cans pork and beans, do not drain
3 cans Del Monte Stewed Tomatoes, break them apart before adding
2 cups brown sugar
1 package Williams Chili Seasoning (for 2 pounds of meat)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


In a large pan brown ground chuck, drain grease when done.

Add chili brick, pork and beans, stewed tomatoes, brown sugar, chili seasoning, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Bring to a boil then simmer for 1 hour over low heat, stirring occasionally.


Doug's sister, Christie, is one of the sweetest people I have ever known. She has recently recovered from major surgery and I am so glad she is feeling better. Doug loves her chili and when she makes a big pot she always shares some with us. I never think mine tastes as good as hers.
