It's Party Time!

Well, it is official.
The holidays are upon us.
(It is hard to believe since it is 70 degrees and sunny every day.)
We kicked off the season with two traditional favorites.

First: Thanksgiving.
Although we had to work this Thanksgiving, we were invited to a party after school. It was a potluck, and it was our job to bring enough mashed potatoes for 16 people. Making the potatoes almost resulted in destroying the Steins kitchen, but, nevertheless, we arrived on time with 5lbs of mashed potatoes.
Some said we overdid it, but at the end of the night, not a speck of potatoes came home with us.

The table for this meal was a pool table with a top and a tablecloth on it.
Here is the spread:
Here is the aftermath:Here are some friends:Tonight, Jay and I held a traditional "Baking and Bonding". (For more info on "Baking and Bonding" check out another recent post").
We took the chance on possibly destroying the Steins kitchen once again, but I truly believe the Lord protected us. I did blow up a pressure cooker and burn some beans (we had chili while we worked), but, other than that, the night went smoothly and was super fun.

Here was the group:
Here is some of our handiwork:
Yay for the Holidays and yay for being with family in less than three weeks! (not that I am counting down or anything. . .)
