Christmas Cookie Exchange
This past Saturday I hosted and attended my first cookie exchange! It was a really fun afternoon of visiting with friends, and snacking on delicious cookies. I ended up with more than 4 dozen of eight different types of cookies, and I only had to make one kind. This is a pretty sweet deal. Get it? Sweet? Anyway…
I had a fun time decorating and getting everything ready for the party. I think I could be very happy as a party planner. Aside from the tiny breakdown I had on the living room floor when I had yet to take a shower, still had more things to prep and set up, and it was only an hour till the party started, I did an OK job! Well, if you want the real story, ask Ben. Or just let me know and I will fill you in on all the nitty gritty details that made my day so horrifically hilarious.
Along with the cookies, we had veggies and a creamy dill dip, crackers and cheese. To drink I made apple cider and got a Starbucks traveler coffee box, which I highly recommend when you have other things to do for a party, and making coffee isn’t something you want to spend time doing. Ben bought some very nice carafes to store the coffee, and I am so glad. I think they will come in handy in my future as a hostess.
