Christmas Dinner for Park Greenhouse

Tomorrow we are having a Christmas Dinner for the employees at the Greenhouses. Today we are baking a lot! 

A favorite recipe

A new "recipe" I found yesterday. Instead of putting a Cookie Mix or such in a jar as a gift, you make a mini, personal "pie"! So far, I have the graham cracker crust done, as shown. Tomorrow I'll add the pudding or pie filling. If I fill it too soon, it's less likely that the pies would get to the correct recipient. =P This is where I found the idea: http://thefrugalgirls.com/gifts-in-jars-recipes; they have lots of other ideas, and I think they're  a rather clever ideas! 

Lots of dishes...

 A full fridge!

 Mary made croissants---they are the BEST! I sorta hope they don't like these rolls tomorrow, 'cause I like leftovers, too. =P Not to mention the truffles.


After the dinner, we play some games. Not Duck, Duck, Goose! but more age-appropriate ones that involve gifts. I forget what the exact name of it is called. =) It's like a gift exchange/steal/try-again sort of a thing. Mary and Amy were busy wrapping all of the presents for that....
