Inside Out Dinner

To celebrate our eventual move to Minnesota, we did a dinner for Inside Out since Riley's family is from Minnesota!  We also had our friend KC as a guest and she got to meet baby Olivia! 




For dinner we had Anger's Pan Seared Steak with a Red Wine and Caramelized Onion Sauce, Disgust's Broccoli Pizza, Sadness's Memories, Fear's Liquid Courage Cocktail, Joy's Almond Joy Truffles, and Bing Bong's Crying Candy.  It was a fantastic dinner!
