Arianna: Fine but nothing lame like pizza. You know how much Mom and Dad like to sit down to a nice dinner on Sundays

Patrick: Still can’t cook

Patrick: Can we just get it catered from somewhere? You know, order some sort of whole dinner that arrives hot?

Arianna: I suppose, but I’m not sure where to order something like that from. Mom just made a whole turkey dinner not that long ago so I don’t want to do that again

Ryleigh: What about one of those spiral ham places?

Ryleigh: I think there’s one in Moorehead City. We can order the ham and some sides from them and then fill in the rest ourselves

Arianna: Ooh…I like that! I can make a salad

Liam: Safe choice

Arianna: Shut up! You’re not making anything. Tessa is

Liam: We count as one

Arianna: Moving on!

Patrick: So if Ari’s bringing the salad and Liam’s bringing dessert and the rest is being catered, does that mean I’m off the hook?

Ryleigh: Absolutely not! Why don’t you pick up wine and drinks, Jamie can bring some appetizers from the pub

Jamie picked the oven mitt back up and threw it at her this time. “Hey! You just said not to add work to our already full schedules!”

“Appetizers are easy. Most of them can be put together really quick and then reheated at the house. Easy peasy.”

Liam: I want the corn fritters!

Patrick: Taco bites!

Arianna: And some crab dip!

Ryleigh: Why don’t I make a charcuterie board? I think then we should have more than enough food

Arianna: Sounds good

Arianna: Can you place the order for the dinner, Ry?

Ryleigh: Yeah, sure. No problem.

Arianna: Oh, and Ry? One more thing

Ryleigh: What?

Arianna: Are you bringing Ryker?

She didn’t even have to think about it.

Ryleigh: Of course!

Arianna: YAY!! I’m so excited for him to hang out with all of us!

Ryleigh: Everyone better behave! Ryker doesn’t scare easily, but try not to push it

Liam: Would we do that?
