Tonight was my first cookie exchange party! I had such a fun time! I have been thinking about tonight for about a month now. Ask anyone who knew I was throwing it, and they would tell you that this party was all I could talk about. Every day I was thinking of what I could do and how to do it. The first of December the invitations went out and after reading every website about throwing one of these or any party for that matter. They all tell you to invite more than you expect to come. so that is what I did. Just about as soon as I gave the invites out, the rsvps came rolling in! Every invited person said they were coming. What were those crazy party planning people saying!! Did they not realize I was inviting a bunch of stay at home moms desperate for a girls night out? I started to panick how in the world am I going to fit 17 people in my little living room? Oh well I guess we will figure it out. so I went on with the plans. Until this morning everyone was still planning on coming. Then, I got a few phone calls My kids are sick and one who was feeling sick herself. so I guess the party people do know what they are talking about after all :) Anyhoo we had a great time. Everyone left with eight dozen cookies, sixteen different kinds and a major sugar rush. Wow what a fun night! But I'm glad its over. now its time to focus more on Christmas. can you believe it? less than a week. Where has time gone? good thing I got all my shopping done. Infact that is what Chris did. He took the kiddos out during the party,took them on a date to Culvers and did his christmas shopping I'm so proud for him for getting it done before two days before christmas. Now who is going to wrap those gifts?

My friend Jamie made this winter wonderland display for her yummy cookies it was

Here is the display of cookies for all to sample before we took our own packages home seriously what a sugar rush! Good thing I had the cheese ball to try and balance it all!
