This past weekend, Mom and I decided we wanted to have an "open house" Christmas party. I sort of took the idea and ran with it. We had a blast trying to come up with a poem for the Facebook invite which ended up going like this:
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Tis' the season to be jolly, The house is decorated with lots of Christmas holly. The stockings are hung,
And carols are being sung.
The tree is in place, And we'd love to see your face Please stop on by, Because we'd like say "hi!" No matter the weather Be sure to wear your best ugly sweater! There will be a prize So please participate, both girls and guys! We'll have a White Elephant if you'd like to partake, But please RSVP so we know what to make! The gifts should stay cheap, $10 or less, Make sure to wrap it nice so no one can guess. We'll have a signature drink, but it might not be what you think. And if you wish, You're welcome to bring a dish. If you have any questions, please post them below, But we'd really love it if you would show! |
Mom invited her friends and I invited mine, however, it ended up just being my friends that showed up. We played Apples to Apples for over an hour while waiting for everyone to get here and then the fun really started. Mom bought me a board game called "Shooters and Ladders," that she let me have early just for the party. For this game imagine the children's game "Chutes and Ladders" and then add shot glasses and a bottle of alcohol. After this, we had the White Elephant gift exchange which involved everything from hand and feet warmers to dish towels to a live gold fish!

A few days before the party, we took Cassidy to see Santa. She wasn't too thrilled about him and slid off his lap as she started crying, so we had to take her over to the tree to take a few pictures since she looked SOOO cute!!
