Christmas Party

The last week has been a little frantic for me. See, last night, we hosted our "Friend Christmas Party". We decided to go all out and do an actual sit-down dinner instead of the usual guys-outside-bbq'ing-girls-inside-kids-playing hang-out. We even dressed up a little more than usual! Nothing fancy, but totally fun for our group of close friends. So, I cleared out the living room so we could all sit together and spent the day cooking...two turkeys (John came over and fried one), mashed potatoes, green bean bundles, rolls, shrimp cocktail dip, cheese log, pretzel salad and chocolate-dipped peanut butter balls (Caleb made those). We ate, laughed and played games. We are so blessed to have found such a great group of friends!

Here are a few pics from the night (although I didn't take many):
