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.
