Today was my family's annual "girls only" Christmas party. No men allowed at this get-together! (Well, except for the baby boys - they're allowed!) I have 3 sisters and many nieces and grandnieces, so it's a fairly large group. In the past, we've done a cookie exchange, but this year we exchanged ornaments. Here's the ornament I received ~ isn't it cute?!
My eldest niece hosted the party. On the menu: three different types of lasagna, pizza for the children, salad, homemade Challah bread (baked by my eldest sister) and a red-velvet peppermint cake! Her home was decorated in blue & white for the holidays, and everything looked sooo pretty, I had to share pictures with you, of course!

The entry and stairway
On the stairway landing, she had a snowman gourd I painted for her more than 10 years ago. I was touched to see she still has it!
Her beautiful tree
Some of the other blue & white decorations around her house.
Even a jar of blue and white candy canes!
We had a great time, and even the weather cooperated ~ cold, but with bright sunshine.
If you haven't yet entered my give-away, you still have 3 days (click the button on my sidebar!)
Until next time,
