\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Every first Friday of December, I host a Girl’s Christmas Party<\/strong> and this year was my 15th annual.\u00a0 Guests are asked to bring an appetizer, salad, soup or<\/span> side dish and a $25 value gift for a crazy gift exchange.\u00a0 A prize and ribbon\u00a0are awarded to the person bringing the best voted appetizer.\u00a0 This year’s winning appetizer is posted above and the runner up is below.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to the winning appetizers, we’ve posted several others to provide a few ideas for\u00a0your Christmas Party.\u00a0 Everything was yummy and I’m much appreciative for all\u00a0contributions.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

We enjoyed baked Bruschetta with Mozzarella, Tomato, Basil and Balsamic Vinegar, homemade Guacamole and Chips, Antipasto, Vegetables\u00a0with Ranch Dip, Chips\u00a0and Onion Dip, Chicken Wings, Hummus with Pita Chips, a Chopped Salad, Spring Rolls, Buffalo Mozzarella with Tomato and Basil,\u00a0and much more.\u00a0 Some dishes aren’t pictured due to photo quality.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a>\"Christmas<\/a>\"Christmas<\/a>\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Dessert preparation is deligated to the best baker in the\u00a0bunch, Loretta of Nibbles of Tidbits’ Cookie Decorating<\/a> fame.\u00a0 She made a few of our old time favorites for all\u00a0to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Dessert included a homemade Chocolate Cake with Frosting piped using my\u00a0favorite decorating tip (hair tip<\/a>), Magic Bars and Lemon Squares.\u00a0 Loretta\u00a0receives a prize every year for her amazing efforts.<\/p>\n

The past couple years money was saved on a tree, due to the display of our adorable Charlie Brown Christmas Tree.\u00a0\u00a0Champagne flows along\u00a0with the availability of a semi-full bar and lots of Bottled Water.\u00a0 And poster boards are accessible to view party photos from all previous years.<\/p>\n

This year I pulled out an American Idol Microphone<\/a> to\u00a0facilitate the party along.\u00a0 We (I) had a fun time with it — It’s a great way to get your guest’s attention to coordinate the games, the gift exchange and\u00a0appetizer vote submissions.\u00a0 We usually end the party with a group photo to be viewed on next year’s poster board.\u00a0 Unfortunately two left before we remembered to take our 2009 photo.\u00a0 To view last year’s par-tay highlights, click here<\/a>.\u00a0 Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
