2nd annual voight christmas party

okay - time to get serious and focus back on christmas.

the second weekend of december was the second annual voight christmas party. this year, it was a little more "homey" since i have had some time to make my mark on the house (last year brandt had just moved in and it was still very "bachelor").

we had many wonderful friends and family stop by over the course of the evening. after several days (okay, so maybe since thanksgiving) of decorating, making and planning - here is how it turned out!

the living room (note the new mantle we added just the weekend before!)


got this idea from a magazine (sad to report, milo has since discovered this and ate one of the presents!)the hot chocolate station in the nook!chocolate peppermint martinis!the spread, atop the christmas runner i made (there are bells hanging if you can't see!)we had to move some things around to create some space - the empty plate was waiting for a warm plate of the miller family traditional "spicy bites" an awesome feta/hummus/cream cheese/veggie spread that brandt ate by the loadred pepper/asparagus crostinis (in shapes of stars compliments of my mom's tools!)


my favorite (and new) creation - cream cheese stuffed black olives - aka christmas penguins!
