St Nicholas Party!

Every year, as close as we can get to St. Nicholas Eve we have a family party.
It started when our kids were young and THGGM worked in retail.
It gave our family a chance to celebrate BEFORE the  traditional holiday craziness set in.

Today we had a fabulous taco bar.
And for dessert, an Oreo ice cream dessert made with peppermint stick ice cream.
There were gift baskets filled to running over with Christmas themed items to enjoy in the three weeks leading up to Christmas day.

And there was family.
All fourteen of us!
