I love Christmas!!!


Well we've done quite a bit lately for the Christmas season.  We've had a lot of fun having people over and everything. Tonight, we had Josh, Laura and Charity over for a "Family Christmas." 
I made the traditional ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and rolls. Here's a picture of us eating... ;)
We also gave gifts to eachother. I got a new journal and Jake got an "office" trivia game, we'll be playing that a lot for the next few months;)
On Sunday, we had our usual crowd over for dinner, but this week we had a Christmas party! We had 12 people show up! Here's some of the crowd:) We had  a blast doing the $5 gift exchange game. 



For supper, I made Chili and "glorified" potato soup. And for dessert: Chocolate chunk cookies, sugar cookies, dipped pretzels and dipped ritz crackers and peanut butter. Almost everything was gone after the party. You can really tell they are a bunch of starving college students:)
On Saturday, Jake and I had to make all the treats for our Christmas party. Jake really wanted to help and had this amazing idea of making our own double pan so the chocolate doesn't burn. Notice the zip tie. What a smart husband:)

Here's Jake making the dipped ritz crackers and peanut butter. He did a great job! They turned out beautiful!
Jake caught in the act... eating his quadruple decker!!!!

The beautiful dessert Jake made:)
