Christmas Party

Earlier this month we had our Enrichment Christmas Party. I am on the committee and was asked to be in charge of the decorations. It was a huge, stark white room and I worried for months that I would be able to come up with enough stuff to fill it. Thankfully I had tons of help! Some people waited to decorate there home until after this party so we could use a lot of their Christmas decorations. As you can see, it turned out pretty cozy and very nice (if I do say so myself).
Aside from the folding chairs and tables, we brought in everything...couches, comfy chairs, extra tables to decorate, lamps, trees, trees, and more trees!
My half-elf friend helped me wrap all these boxes to use as part of the centerpieces, and under trees. The green and gold balls were something my mom had that came from grandma. The branches are REAL and they came from Oregon. My mom and dad cut them for me when we were there for Thanksgiving, we put them in a big box and I brought them home on the plane.  They lasted better than I expected and everyone loved them!
I can't take any credit for the food, but I can say it was delicious. Not to mention these are my new favorite rolls!

After dinner we had a few speakers, a gift wrapping demonstration, and a service gift exchange. I offered to design someone's Christmas cards, and I received 2 batches of sugar cookies. It was a fabulous night and I'm pretty sure a good time was had by all!
