The Fifth Annual Overall Christmas Party was a success! It was the first one in our new house. Every year I get so mad at myself for not taking pictures. ugh. I can honestly say this year has been the least work I have put into the party:( I just feel like having a toddler/hurricane changes everything and makes things a little more challenging. Thank you for those who offered to help :)
I am loving the chicken finger platter at Cane's though. Second year in a row and it's always a hit.
It did help having this sweet little helper though:)
Ok, so onto the spread.

Between chasing Ainsley, hosting, bouncing from downstairs to upstairs, I didn't take any pics. If I get any from family, I will add in though!
I did plan a little secret for Philip though. He wanted our Christmas lights to be the best in the neighborhood. So much so, that my dad really thought he was in a competition when they were putting up the lights. In our old neighborhood, they judge christmas lights and give awards to the houses that win. The houses get a sign in their yard and we drive around every year and ooh and ahh at the houses that win. So I made Philip his own sign this year. I had planned to put it out before all the guests arrive, and when someone asked him about it, him be like 'what sign?'.
Weelllll, he ruined it. I hid the sign in my car so I could sneak it into yard easier. Well, he went to run an errand right before party and took my car. seeing the sign and figuring what I had done. :( A for effort I guess.
We loved having everyone to our new house and getting to just spend time with family. It is always a little hectic and chaotic, but worth it:) we had such a good time and hope everyone that came did too!
