Happy December everyone!

I started this festive month off with a bang!  I hosted our annual Girl’s Christmas party last night.  Four years we have been getting together and laughing until our sides hurt!  It truly has become one of my favorite traditions during Christmas.

Every year we get better and better at shopping for each other too.  We play the dice game and it never fails that there is always one or two gifts that all of us want and fight over.

I got a $25 gift card to DSW, which came at a perfect time because I don’t have any shoes that fit!  So after Little Lady arrives her and I will be doing some shoe shopping for the spring.  I can’t wait!

I made a few recipes:

I also made my Dad’s Chili and Pickle Dip.  Anne brought Jalapeno Jelly and Guacamole and Suzy made Santa Brownies.  We had a very nice spread of food for a very nice group of gals!

We went to Suzy’s apartment, opened gifts, pre-drank and then went to dinner at Axel’s Bonfire in Woodbury.

Suzy’s first year at her house.  A lot of wine was consumed and Anne and Bre were growing babies!  We all got socks!!

2011 – Our Third

Year two at Suzy’s.  We had it a few weeks after Christmas because Kellen was born Christmas Day.  Zeik, Grayson, June, Lydia and Ethan’s First Christmas’ also.  No preggos.

2012 – Our Fourth

We are at my house and we all got sleep masks in our GIANT stockings.  Kid free Christmas except for Olive and Bre’s (not present but still participated) baby in our bellies.
