~~Friend Christmas dinner.~~
Stott home.
Stott's, Schramm's, Rennaker's, Coons, Bagley's, and Folster's.
A Colorado Christmas Evening with friends.
I was so excited to host. I love a fun Christmas party. Especially a great night with friends. We decided on favorite Christmas desserts and appetizers. WE also did white elephants. We wanted an easy evening where we could all hang out and chat, eat treats, open gifts and have a good evening. I made homemade caramel, chocolate covered rice krispies, white chocolate cookies and Artichoke Parmesan dip.As usual, I find no time to blog! I just want to say that the party was great, we had such a good time with our friends.
Now off to Christmas fun...always so much to do!
One more week until the big day! we are so excited....
Here our pics from the night...Merry Christmas!
All of us hanging out.
We got our plates of food and drinks and talked the night away....
No kids! what a miracle!!
All the cute hubbies.
