Waits Family Annals

We have only known the Mancusos for a year in a half.  They are such great people, and we are so glad to know them.  Brian has introduced the world of hunting to Todd.  And last year the Mancusos put on a Feast of the 7 Beasts for all their friends because they had so much left over meet.  Brian is Italian, and so they played off the Feast of the 7 Fish that they do right before Christmas.  Mandee did an AWESOME job last year, and I was so amazed she did it all by herself. This year she is PREGNANT!!!!!! Best celebration of the year!!! She and Brian are going to be the most super duper awesome parents, this is one lucky little person! I so wanted to do feast of the beast again, but could not ask her to do it alone.  So we co hosted, and we didn’t limit ourselves to only 7 beasts.   So know it is proudly called, “Feast of the Beast” and is an annual thing the night before New Years Eve.

It really went very smoothly.  We had so many to invite, but because its the holiday season, so many were out of town.  But we still had a full house, and we are sure all of our friends will make it at some point.

The food:

We had so many sides, just in case you weren’t feeling too adventurous (Makensy…..:)) Stuffing, Mac and Cheese, Rolls, Corn, Green Beans.

The Beasts were: Deer, Turkey, Squirrel, Duck, Lamb, Boar, Ram, Bunny, Bear, and Mystery Meat.

Brians family was really the only people to feel disgusted and tricked into trying the Mystery Meat, which ended up to be Racoon. It didnt really bother me, it tasted really good.

Mandee had this super awesome idea to paint a big canvas, and have all of Brians fun hunting stuff (including a fox he had gotten) and had a fun room for people to take pictures of themselves.  That is going to have to be a blog post in and of itself, the pictures are so great, and for those of you who went, you can get the pic for yourself off my blog.

It was a great 2nd Annual, and look forward to it again.
