On the 14th day of Advent -- there is a Girl Scout Christmas party. Our troop grew from 7 to 17 this year so this was no quiet little affair. It was big and noisy and messy and these girls are so much fun. With that I will share the photos of the evening. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the food which was abundant.

That looks to be a lovely party. The pots look wonderful.
It was a nice party -- they all had a good time even though there was a mix-up with gifts -- it all worked out. Those pots were done at a really cool pottery shop in a nearby town. That was another fun day -- they are a really good group to take places, well behaved and engaged in what they are doing. We are lucky to have them.
That looks like fun. I used to have a Brownie troop and I loved it. One winter, though, I picked up the girl's cookies orders and then got snowed into the house with hundreds of boxes of cookies. It wasn't pretty. ;-)

It sounds like a great party! I think the scouts learn a lot from participating in parties.
Janet -- I am so sorry about the cookies! It is getting close to cookie time again so my daughter's house will look like a storehouse! The weather usually stays ok for us to sell-- we set up booths at a very accommodating shopping center and they do well there but I can't imagine getting snowed in and not being able to sell -- and having all those cookies in my house because I have zero will power!
Pom Pom -- I agree-- parties are great learning experiences -- especially when we end up one gift short --- we learn how quickly one mom can jump into action to save the day. She needs a cape!
