Saturday was a complete whirlwind. I took part in organizing the party, which was an end of the year bash for a group I'm a part of at work. So Saturday was spent finishing desserts, putting together goodie containers, and whipping up a decadent Coconut Hot Chocolate. Oh yeah, and forgetting to put my bread pudding in the oven [no joke, I seriously did that and had to bake the thing at the hosts house!]. But all in all, the party went over extremely well, which included some hilarious Minute to Win It games, an ugly sweater contest, karaoke, and of course, too much food to handle. And I couldn't have asked for a better night with a more genuinely special group of people.
OH! And I can't forget to mention the goodie bags [containers] that I made for the party, too. Hollyann and I spent numerous hours rolling and dipping Christmas Cake Truffles and Apple Cinnamon Truffles to put in the cute little candy cane-striped boxes you see above for everyone to take home. Needless to say it was quite a bit of work but very worth it. Better to give than to receive, right?!
Then came Sunday morning and the Ugly Sweater 5K. And what a great time that was!!
