Christmas in July

2011 is almost done :) This was Casey's mom's year for Christmas, but instead of us all going up to her house, she came here. There was a lot of food (food is pretty much synonymous with holidays for me), family, and good times.

In our family, we have the tradition of having an appetizer style dinner for our Christmas Eve dinner. We had decided as a family to have our big Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, so I did my appetizer dinner on another night. 
                         Red pepper and bacon crescent rolls                      Deli platter
                              Jalapeno jelly and crackers                     Sweet and sour meatballs
                                                                  Spinach artichoke dip
 My favorite appetizer. I had been waiting for years to make this.
 Afterwards, I thought it would be fun to make gingerbread houses.
 Ashley, Charity, and I just helped the little kids. I think they had a good time.
 Casey ended up making one too. Notice the "Y" on the side of his house. A cougar through and through :)
