December 8 - 'The Snow Child'

Eight of us gathered for a festive evening and our annual Yankee Swap. I provided ham and mac&cheese, Karen brought salad and thin mints, Michelle made the cutest cheese snowman, Becky brought clementines, Susan brought her amazing appetizers - apricots, stuffed figs and cheese bites. Heather brought celery and vegan dip. Darla brought ice cream that went well with Lisa's cake. Darla also brought us party favors - little Santa hats on hair clips and wicked cute book marks in the form of sprouts!

Everyone seemed to love the book, which made for little discussion, although we did have different interpretations of where the girl came from.

The Yankee Swap had no bows or arrows, although there were two of the same jigsaw puzzle sporting the covers of best-selling books. A few well-mannered swaps took place and everyone seemed to be pleased.

NEXT MEETING
What: Lisa has the details on this, because the author is a neighbor of hers. I believe the title is My Mother Raised Wallflowers.
Where: Lisa's? The author will join us.
