Christmas Lights PARTAY!

 It is a family tradition to go see the lights at the Elks Home in Bedford each year.  We typically all go out to eat before, but this year I decided to invite everyone over to our house.  I also referred to this party as my "pinterest party" because all my food and decorations were from ideas I have been "pinning"


I made Potato Soup, 7 up biscuits & Jalapeño Poppers all recipes from Pinterest that were very yummy.  Especially the biscuits.

Adam helped me make simmering scent jars as party favors.  The "Christmas Smellers" label is a family joke.


I have accumulated a large stock of jars and decided to use them for cups.  I kept the lids on the ones for the kids...no spilling!


 Candle votive holders made the perfect holders for individual veggie cups.


Why do all parties end up with a girls side...

And a boys side...please ignore my brother in the picture below...he thinks he is cool.


Nobody loves a party more than Colton.  He loved walking around and drinking out of everyone's cups...as usual.  He must have had 8 cake pops and was in a sugar coma by the time the party was over.


 A party is not a party without a cake pop.


After the party we all caravaned to see the lights.   

And I have been making these wood blocks like crazy.  They are my go to Christmas gift this year and I have almost killed my family with the spray paint fumes as I crank these things out from the garage...because it is too cold for me to paint outside.  Nothing says Merry Christmas like paint fumes!

Okay, I love the party food and the neat idea to keep the lids on the jars for the little ones. Those veggies look so yummy I wish I had one right now.
