Jeremie and I hosted the 3rd Annual Mr. & Mrs. Fezziwig's Christmas Ball last night. It was an amazing success!! We had about 26 people show up the first year, 38 the second year and last night we had 54! That's in a 950 square foot condo so people were packed in like sardines, but we had an excellent time! Though tight, it let us know that we can pop the sucker open and host a lot more people! We feel bad that we haven't been able to invite everyone but we can now so next year is going to be even more crazy!! Of course.. pretty much all of the extra people are from my family!!
We served Two Bean Chicken Chili, Meatballs (6lbs!!), Lil'smokies, Sausage Mushroom Dip, Veggies, Meat/Cheese tray, Apple/Cinnamon baked Brie, Double Lemon Splosion Cookies, Spice Splosion Cookies, Peanut Clusters, Chocolate covered crackers w/ Peanut Butter, Snickerdoodles, Oatmeal cookies, Spiced Almonds, Pumpkin bars, and a decorated sugar cookie as a take home gift. The big hits were the splosions, Apple/Cinnamon baked Brie, Meatballs, Lil'smokies and the Chili. Every ounce of those things was eaten and there was A LOT!!
In the spirit of the Fezziwigs we also do a canned food drive for St. Mary's Food Bank and we collected over 15 bags of canned/non-perishable food items.
A lot of people ask us why it is the Fezziwigs... google it and see what you find. =)
The Fezziwig party is my favorite day of the year each year and I am already getting excited for next year as we have decided to invite a lot more people! =) Merry Christmas Everyone!!
