So every year we have FUN doing a Christmas card picture. Who has FUN doing family pictures? Not very many I don't think. But, we sure do try. This is the 6th year we have done something a bit different, authentic and an experience that has become a unique family tradition. This year we had a thought of doing something with lights. We were kind of in a hurry, so it's not the clearest pic....but thought it was cute. So, we went with it.
Sometimes ya just have to go with it, right?
Kim and Becky had another cookie exchange. I must confess: I didn't bring cookies! Who doesn't bring cookies to a cookie exchange? That'd be ME this year. I was so overwhelmed with too many Etsy orders, and way too many Christmas lists of "to-get, to-do, to-....." You know, all the "to-do's" that Mama's do. It was a tad too much for me to bake several dozen yummy cookies.
Kim (um, THE best gourmet cook ever!) did lunch for all the ladies.
Can I say, PERFECT? Yep.
Do you see the wreath made of parsley?
We did a PROGRESSIVE DINNER this year. It was a total blast and success! About 15 friends went to Rachel's for cocktail and appetizers,
then to Kim's (best cook!) for tenderloin and yummies,
then to us Foster's for desserts and White Elephant gift exchange.
The celebrations weren't over yet. My big bro. His birthday par-tey!
