Hi friends! Wow, our weekend was jam packed with all things Christmas. I wish every weekend was a preparation for Christmas! We are totally exhausted, but it's the best kind of tired. Here's a recap!
Thursday night we had a Christmas party with our bible study group. We shared food and played games. We have some of the best cooks in our group! I love when we get together for meals! Then we played Family Feud!
These guys found the Family Feud theme song and started playing it to get into the spirit.
We had several husband/wife duels!
Matt was READY to play!
We had so much fun!
Friday night was Matt's work party. It was in this adorable little Carriage House next door to a cool pizzeria near downtown Phoenix.
Saturday night we hosted my company Christmas party. Good food with good company is the best kind of time. We served BBQ and tons of Christmas cookies!!
I also made a few festive drinks like this cranberry, mint infused water!
We all fit on our farmhouse table! It was cozy, but I loved it!
Sunday my neighbor, Jenny, and I hosted a cookie exchange at her house. It was ssooo fun!! We found a cartridge on her cricut perfect for making cookie exchange invitations so there was no other option but to throw a cookie exchange party, right!? We spent most of the morning decorating and snapped this picture right before the festivities began. Literally, people were walking through the front door at this very second!
We had ladies of all ages participate!
Good times all around!!
We had everyone vote on their favorite cookies in multiple categories such as most creative, best tasting, etc. The winners got to choose an ornament to take home as their prize!
We had our drink station,
and a place to grab bags to be filled with yummy cookies for everyone to take home!
We had the tables ready for all the cookies to arrive!
One table full of goodies!
We also made a hot chocolate station. It was a little warm for hot chocolate, but a few people enjoyed it!
Picking up some yummy goodies to take home!
Here were the football fanatics.
Good times all around!!
Our neighbors enjoying the gorgeous weather!
Abby LOVED eating the cookies!
But she got really messy!!

We also played lots of fun Christmas games throughout the event. We went over the answers at the end of the party.
We had more prizes for our game winners!
Here is my friend, Sara, picking out her prize for, no surprise here, best dressed!
These girls had so much fun!
I was making several trips home after the party and on one trip these young girls were riding a bike around the neighborhood belting out Christmas carols. It was so cute!!
It was such an awesome weekend! I am still working on recovering from our busy weekend, but all is well. I am posting our Christmas card Friday so check back then!
