To make serving simple, I placed all of the eating utensils in one location on the counter and the food on another section of the counter.

My friend Rainy made a stress free crock pot macaroni. It was so delicious and it never even dawned on me to make macaroni in the crock pot until I ate it that night. I’m definitely making my own version soon.

Once everyone grabbed plates we all found a spot to eat either upstairs or downstairs. The husband’s gravitated downstairs to eat in front of the television. It was Sunday night and there were several good football games on.

After dinner, Rainy and I played board games with the kids and had such a great time connecting with them. 

This was a stress free night that both families were able to enjoy. We both have three plus kids and had no problem getting everyone together since we all pitched in.

If you’d like to make 7Up Ten Limeade, all you’ll need is a bottle of 7Up Ten, one lime and a pack of green Kool-Aid.

Simply pour a tiny bit of the packet into the bottle to make it green. Then serve over crushed ice and garnish with a slice of lime.
