We hosted a fun little holiday pot luck dinner with some of my favorite people last night. FMK whipped up a fabulous pork tenderloin, I served my grandmother’s mashed potatoes and Sam’s brussels sprouts and everyone else brought festive appetizers, drinks and desserts.
How was your weekend? Have you started decorating? Are you sending out holiday cards (we need to get on that!)? I can’t believe it is December 3rd!
What a gorgeous skirt.:)
I haven’t sent Christmas cards in a long time, but I think I’m sending a few this year.:)
Love,

SO pretty! 🙂 Your place looks lovely! 🙂
Thank you Elizabeth! Merry Christmas to you!
Perhaps I am biased, but what a great post 😉 Your home was so lovely and FMK’s port tenderloin was insane! Not to mention the spiced cider. A great (festive) evening all around Caroline!
Thanks sweetie, we loved having you! xo
You all look so cute – what a fun event! Love your teal ensemble 🙂

I listed the recipe links for the pork tenderloin and Brussels sprouts in the post, but here is the mashed potatoes too (its really easy and yummy!).
– 5 potatoes (boil to soften then drain the water)
* add soften potatoes & below ingredients to your mixer and puree.
– 8 oz sour cream
– 8 oz cream cheese
– 1 stick of butter
You can freeze overnight and heat in the oven the next day or serve immediately. Bake in oven at 350 to warm.
You all look beautiful!! I love your skirt!
