So, here are some pictures from all that.
Here are some of the goodies I made for my party. Chewy Caramel Bars (recipe will be posted at
The Girl Creative tomorrow in participation with our Creating Christmas Blog Fest) and red velvet cupcakes.
Here is some bark I made with dark chocolate, white chocolate, walnuts and M&M's. Yummy! And some Walnut Brownie Tartlets.
Now onto the decorations. I made these Christmas Countdown blocks which I thought the girls would be super excited about. Turns out they're not, but I am so that works. ;)
Here is our tree. Not a great picture because after almost 6 years I
still have not figured out how to use my camera properly!
And the newest edition to our living room is this little shelf that I got super cheap at Hobby Lobby as well as the tall candle holders.
I did bake so much more stuff but in all the fuss of the party and the set up I forgot to take more pictures. I made a to die for hot spinach and artichoke dip. I made this
anti-pasta bread featured at Kevin and Amanda and boy was it good (picture is from Kevinandamanda.com)!!!
Also on the menu was a cold anti-pasta, a bunch of M&M and Chocolate Chip Cookie and shrimp cocktail. I'd say the party was a success. Can't wait to do it again for Christmas. :)
