Christmas Dinner Party

Ashley and Eric hosted their first dinner party for Bob, Eric's dad (Bob), Eric's mom (Renee) and Eric's brother and sister, Elise and Evan. I must say, it was an elegant affair, using what they had in order to serve all eight of us. Not having table space for all of us didn't stop them at all. The food they served was easily eaten anywhere in the apartment. Ashley is serving up hot cider. I am not usually a cider fan but hers was very good!

Our hosts! note: Ashley's scarf is of the new Missouri Tiger plaid that her department designed.

The hit of the night (at least for me) were these ice bowls made to serve our ice cream in. Ashley and Eric said they drank a lot of milk to make these! I rinsed them out at the end of the party and put them on their patio with instructions to buy some tealights. They were far too pretty to just let them melt away!


Thank you Ashley and Eric.... it was wonderful!
