Christmas Luncheon

We had our school Christmas luncheon on Friday.

I took a vote and the majority said that we should go out for lunch.

We struck a deal with Pizzeria Limone and headed there.

I had a slight heart attack when I realized that in the 150+ cookie cutters that I own

I do not have a snowman cookie cutter!  

Luckily, Bakerella posted about some cute snowmen to inspire me.

 I was struggling to find some inexpensive ribbon for my favors 

and then I stumbled upon this silver garland!  

$0.97 for 15 feet of it!  Problem solved.

Each place setting looked like this.

I didn't make too many snowflake cookies because I realize that they were really fragile.

We played a Christmas trivia game

and it was a little hard.  The winner got 4 right.

I found three different coordinating napkin sets for $0.97 each at Wal-mart.

 They reserved half the restaurant for us.

I made plates of mini cookie appetizers for each table.

 Yummy personal pizzas for everyone.

We had a table for all of our $15 gifts.

 I wrote out the lines from Twas the Night Before Christmas on index cards.

Each person who brought a gift, choose a line of the poem from the jar.

Then I read the poem and when I said the line that they had

it was their turn to choose a wrapped gift.

My gift was 3 nice rolls of wrapping paper 

and I came home with Micheal Buble's new Christmas album.

A good time was had by all.
