Again, Ben made chili - this year a spicy pork chili incorporating some pork he'd smoked. I didn't try his because I'm not a fan of the spice, but the chili I did have (Liz's 4 bean chicken chili) was awesome. I just love chili, and there were TONS this year - made me want to have chili every single week this winter!
I wasn't so hot with my role as photographer this year - it's just tough to talk to people, watch Annie now that she's all over the place, EAT, AND take photos!
The big addition to this year's event, which was featured in my last belly pic, was this huge painting of Scott!
Ben and Annie checking out the posters of Scottoberfest past
All the beers! Maybe NEXT year I'll get to enjoy them? Who am I kidding - I'll be nursing then (hopefully) so I'll get to have a few and that's it.
This was eventually moved into the backyard to give all the tots here something to do - Annie only liked it when no one else was around :)
Parting gift this year - buttons!
Beer themed decor
Annie was freaked at Stewie this year - last year she was fine being right up in his face!
Enjoying chili!
Special thanks to Laura for lending me her maternity clothes, including these jeans, making this outfit possible :)
Blurry, but this was Annie's MO the entire night - walking into the garage saying "Cracker? Cracker? Please? Cracker???!?!??!?" until someone gave in. She probably had about 15.
Eating some food
Ben and Brian - chatting about beer?
More looking at memories - Annie is very well featured in here!
Annie and Janelle - the hostess with the mostess!!
Annie walked over here and just started posing - hilarious! I guess she saw all the photos being taken here all night.
Had tons of fun smelling flowers with Miranda
Seriously one of my favorite events of the year - I look forward to it so much now! Thanks Janelle, for making our fall a ton better each year :)

That looks like so much fun, esp since I'm (weirdly) on a beer kick right now. And pretty sure 3 beers would = crazy drunk for you next year. I have one and I'm like WHOA NELLY. CHeap, cheap, very cheap date.
That guy standing next to Ben looks really cool.
Great recap Erin! Makes me so excited for #sfest12. Can't believe Baby Boy Reichelt will be in attendance. Makes me want to bring back the onesies :). We'll make sure the crackers are well-stocked.
