This year the home was absolutely breathtaking! White and silver everywhere, and white lights and candles galore. Out in the back past the pool on the "Bayou" the white deer, polar bears and other animals were moving and twinkling in the night air. The popcorn tree in the courtyard was once again decorated for the festivities. The newest addition to the decor this year was the "snowing tree". It was definitely a conversation piece and sprayed "snow" all night.
Those in attendance enjoyed appetizers of "BLT minis, Apache Cheese Dip with Chips, Spinach and Cranberry Salad, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Shrimp and Corn Soup, Raspberry Chipotle Glazed Pork Tenderloin with freshly baked rolls, Bacon and Roll Ups, Bacon Wrapped Dates, Honey Butter Dipped Almond Crusted Chicken Tenders, Caprese Salad Skewers, Fire Grilled Vegetables, Fresh Fruit with Brandied Fig and Apricot Torte with Coconut Cookies, Chocolate Mousse Cups, Fresh Fruit and Chantilly Creme Parfaits, Lemon Bars and Triple Chocolate Threat Brownies.
Out in the movie viewing area, everyone enjoyed nachos with cheese and warm cookies with cold milk shots. Later, their was live story telling and music which was the true highlight of the evening. What a wonderful way to kick off the holidays!
