Derby Day Celebrations

We love, love, love to have fun on Derby Day! 

I have never been to the Derby but I did go to the Oaks Day Races when I was 8 months pregnant. Great timing! Ha. 

Last year we had a Derby party! I love to throw a fun party, but this year the hubs had to work so it didn't seem right to celebrate without him!

So we just had my mom over, I made several appetizers, we had sausage balls, queso and chips, cornbread salad, garlic dip and veggies, cheese and crackers. My youngest came in and I had every spread out on our bar, and he said but mom no one is coming but us. We have a lot of party food!

It was fun to explain to him that we can celebrate when it's just us!

Here is our Derby pot!

And they are off!!!

And the winner is 

California Chrome!

It was a fun evening. I drew the winner. We've always had a Derby pot as far back as I can remember!!

A fun day! I missed the hubs, but boys had fun and Presley is the boys friend and he came over and drew a horse and watched too!
