Friendsgiving & Friendsmas 2013

This year we were lucky enough to celebrate an early Thanksgiving & an early Christmas with our friends! Since the actual holidays are almost always reserved for, and spent with family...it was great to be able to celebrate and share traditions with our friends...the Bay Area family we've chosen:)

This year's "Friendsgiving" was hosted by the Burriss Family, and was so much fun! Everyone brought a dish or two, Jeannine set a beautiful big table for all of us, and we ended the night with a toddler pajama dance party that made every laugh!

This year's "Friendsmas" was held at our house (like last year). We ran back the Italian theme, munching on baked ziti, sausage and meatballs, green and quinoa salads, garlic bread, and homemade cookie ice cream sandwiches for dessert! We did a White Elephant gift exchange again...and well, you'll see below what some of the top prizes were!
