Schnabel Family: 1st Annual Schnabel Nut Fry/Poker Night

Brian got some mountain oysters from his dad over Christmas and has been dying to have a nut fry. So he planned his first annual nut fry/poker night last night. Since it was the first day of spring, we were thinking it would be nice outside and we would grill and hang out outdoors....but it snowed!!! Brian wasn't going to let the weather get him down and said he was still grilling and frying up the mountain oysters. He did just that with the space heater in garage as the rest of us hung out indoors nice and cozy = ) Brian informed everyone they had to try an oyster before they could leave the house! Thank goodness I didnt have to go anywhere and I used the excuse that i tried one at Christmas! I was shocked that almost everyone liked them....they must not have realized what they were eating = )
After the fun of watching everyone eat the oysters, we started the poker game, which was a ton of fun. And even more fun because I actually won $100!! That never happens so I have to brag just a little!
As this was going on Will had fun playing with Maci. They had a dinner/movie date!! They sat at the picnic table with a lunchable, juice boxes and lots of laughs! Bedtime was extra special because they got to watch a movie in bed! How fun?! Will and Maci were both super excited and all the laughs they had makes me think they had a great time too!
As always here are some pictures to share from the night:
