Festive

Last night I hosted a dinner for my best friends from high school. Oh, how wonderful it was to see everyone and finally really relax!! I provided the adult beverages and Kath’s/Karen’s wonderful veggie lasagna, and everyone else brought the rest.

I had an eggnog + bourbon and another Sweetwater Festive, but had to stop halfway through this beer because of a bad headache:( I think the exhaustion of the week caught up with me.

But, I still managed to enjoy fabulous food and intriguing conversation.

Appetizers were bruschetta and eggplant dip.

I actually didn’t snap a picture of the lasagna, but got all the desserts. The infamous buckeyes:

My friend Laura’s famous peppermint brownies….

and chai snickerdoodles!

Corbin’s incredible white chocolate peppermint popcorn.

And Meredith’s fruit crisp!

I kicked off my first day off of work with a leisurely breakfast, an hour at the gym, and I spent the afternoon baking a white chocolate peppermint cheesecake! I’ll let you know how it is tomorrow. I’m now at home in Hillsborough and Matt and I are preparing for yet another party! Let the festivities begin.
