A Day In the Life

This weekend was just BEYOND busy (hence no time to post!). I attended an AMAZING charity event with the Bush family yesterday and also hosted a Lilly Christmas party. The day was packed with fun and this week is sure to be just as eventful!! I will leave you with photos of some of the delicious food from last night!
Delicious cupcake Christmas tree!
A small touch of Lilly colored candy made all the difference!
A pink platter filled with more baked goods!
You can never have too many sweets! I made the infamous Chocolate Chip Ball as well as peppermint bark. Everyone that attended also brought food so the island (not shown) was packed to the brim. We had stuffed mushrooms, artichoke dip, wraps, chicken fingers, onion souffle, queso (we are in Texas after all), a cheese ball and even more sweets. It was a wonderful way to end the BEST day!!!

How fun!!! I made peppermint bark too and the same way you did with the dark chocolate on the bottom. :) I sent it to my sister in Connecticut along with some peanutbutter fudge.

Your Lilly party looked like it was a lot of fun and very tastey too!

Merry Christmas to you!
