Sip and Be Merry!

Last week we hosted the first annual "Sip and Be Merry" at our house. We had all the guests bring different types of their favorite drinks around the holidays, and share them with everyone. It was so much fun! Homemade eggnog, wassail, apple cider, sparking grape juice, coffee, and hot chocolate were enjoyed by all! I had fun decorating the house a bit before everyone arrived!

There were 5 little boys playing in Andrew's room at one point! Needless to say, they were all having the time of their lives, and Andrew was delighted to share his toys with friends :)

Daddy and Drew before the party

Tadaaa! Here is the island table that joe built us! Dad had some old barn siding that we used to create a rustic table. Joe added the towel rack (from Lowes) to complete the look. We love this new piece of furniture, and it was so helpful for the party!!! Extra counter space is welcome in our house! The boys loved to play underneath it, as it was a perfect hiding spot.
Here is our Fraiser Fir Christmas tree, all decorated. We think it is one of the prettiest trees we have had so far. We put on Big Crosby and had a wonderful time pulling out each ornament and reminiscing about where we got it, or when it was given to us. What a great evening!
