 Good Morning Bloggers...it is December and the busiest time of the year for me! I had a loooooong weekend with back to back gatherings and parties with friends and clubs....what fun....Thursday was my "Stitch n; Chicks" party, and although it was a smaller group this year, due to illness and such, we still had our usual terrific evening! Patricia won the door prize Angel, Debb [me] won the "Christmas" colors contest. We exchanged gifts and of course sang our Christmas song[with changed wording to match our group] and ate a yummy meal!!!

 Next Friday was my Red Hats party with the Social Butterflies.... :) It was at the Vice Queen's house and she put on a fabulous affair...we entered to her player piano playing Christmas songs, all indulged in song yummy food and then drew tickets to choose our gifts that were under the tree, I got a beautiful cashmere scarf and gold pin, then the VQ continued to serenade us with Christmas songs that we all joined in on singing...a fantastic evening...I even won the cutest toy soldier ornament as one of the door prizes....thank you ....

There was a lot of chatting and munching on scrumptious hors d' oeuvres and they had an excellent band where DH and I got to put on our dancing shoes and swirl around the floor several times.... ate a grand dinner and played a fun Bingo game....

The Chicken Dance Contest with Velveeta Cheese and the Apron Queen

Ok I have not lost my rocker...nooo I am doing the "Chicken Dance" for the contest over on "Confession's of an Apron Queen's" blog for the Velveeta Cheese challenge... so be sure and pop over there and vote for her....I made her recipe for the "Ay Caramba Chicken Spaghetti" which is really yummy, I didn't add the chiles and hanged it to regular velveeta as I am not into spicy and it was really good.....matter fact it was so good that my family, my DH and I, had to do the the dance after we ate it...

And she is having this challenge which includes a contest for her wonderful aprons...I am in my apron here which is my "spooky" apron for Halloween....now don't you think my DH deserves a reward for his dance???? lol.....

At the stove...now don't forget to vote for The Apron Queen!!!!!!
