It was a party filled weekend!
Saturday night was the blogger mom's Christmas dinner... I brought this cake.
It was so fun to make, but didn't taste that great-- it was just okay. Maybe I was just so full by the time dessert rolled around? We had the most delicious chicken, ham, potatoes... loads of appetizers, salad... Anyhow- it's a 5 layer cake. Three vanilla cake layers with two peppermint cheesecake layers in between. The frosting is whipped cream & white chocolate. It is also quite droopy--- thanks to Trent ramming into it on the way into Wende's house. That just about put me over the edge- geesh!
Friday night~ was our ward Christmas party/dinner.
It was so, so fun! For real the funnest Christmas party ever.
We brought "alms" for the poor (food bank donations) then received money for the Bethlehem bistro. We dressed up & the kids sang songs. The Nativity was reenacted. We traded our money (bags of pennies for food & sat on the floor on blankets to eat & socialize. It was awesome.
Sunday we ate dinner with Brittany, Brittany, Marcus & Johnny- I forgot to take pictures... bummer.
Great weekend.
I've gotta admit- I am loving this Christmas season- and feel so blessed to have so many friends & family to share it with.
