Christmasfetti Sugar Cookies

It's that time of year again!
(almost)
A few weeks ago, Lauren got bitten by the Christmas love bug. One evening of Pandora holiday music and white-light hanging resulted in a pre-Thanksgiving apartment that is fully festive.
The Christmas (and procrastination) spirit hit us a few nights later when Kelsey decided to make her version of red and green funfetti cookies topped with (minty? looking not flavored) green icing and sprinkles.
They were a great success, and Kelsey made enough to share with everyone, including all our roommates, our neighbors, random visitors, and the Northwestern Cycling Team.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Good food, friends who can cook, wine, potluck, and great memories is all what Thanksgivings about. I had the urge for a dinner party and thankfully my friends were on my wavelength. A heartwarming Thanksgiving dinner filled with some of the best guests of 2E marked the coming of the cold. 

Gracie - Sweet Potato Casserole
Gabrielle - Mashed Potatoes
Lauren - Macaroni & Cheese, Family Stuffing
Danika - Spinach, Almond, Cranberry Salad
Nataly - Southern Fried Chicken
Maya - Indian Lentil Soup
Rachel - Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Let's just say that the pants were unbuttoned.
