Our first party!
Apologies for the lack of posts lately. I was struck with some kind of sickness that literally removed my voice from my body. I kind of felt like Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid when the evil sea witch takes her voice in exchange for giving her a human figure. And I didn’t get anything that good in exchange! I am better now, and I am excited to share some of the fun from the past few weeks with you.
Our only Black Friday purchase was a much needed crock-pot. Robb and I were pondering what delicious meals we could make when we realized that we could make mulled wine in our little pot. On top of that, we were given the Stankey Signature Family Recipe for Grandma Nita’s Christmas sugar cookies. Robb and I were excited to share these with our friends. Combine the cookies with the mulled wine and add a few friends, we had an excellent Christmas party in the making. While we have never had more than four people in our apartment for any length of time, we decided to see how many of our friends would come over. Amazingly enough, seven of us gathered around out little living room quite comfortably. Plus, we even had our tree up!
I should say it was a success. We began the evening with snacks and a fun gift exchange and finished off with a game of Cranium WOW! What fun! We are looking forward to another Christmas party next year!
