party of the christmas variety

so nycole and i had a little christmas party last thursday. we definitely enjoyed it :) we put up tons of lights, got a tree up and decorated and served a delightful spread of food.

rolo pecan pretzels

chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies
red velvet cupcakes!

avocado bean dip

cranberry, cilantro, jalepeno, cream cheese dip (nycole has a name for this which i've forgotten)

and punch

b the w. the cranberry-cilantro-jalepeno-cream cheese dip is fantastic i couldn't get enough of it. i'll have to have nycole jot down the recipe so i can share.

yay for parties and yay for chrismas :)
