We found an idea on Pinterest about a “Favorite Things Party”  and decided to have plan our own  “Favorite Things Party”.  We had our first party in November of 2011 and had so much fun we thought we should try to meet every month if possible.  ( if not every month then at least every other month)  I love this night for many reasons… good friends, good food, and lots of presents just to name a few!!  We each bring a snack and 4 of our favorite things wrapped as gifts.   ( It can be 4 of the same thing or 4 different things)   The cost of the gifts must be $10 or less.

When we arrive we put our name in a hat four times.   We spend time catching up with each others lives and just have fun visiting while we eat all the yummy appetizers and desserts everyone has brought. Next comes the FUN… each person draws four names out of the hat.  ( has to be four diff names and you can’t have your own name)  We go around the room and the four names you drew from the hat are the four people that get the gifts you brought.  As they open the gifts you brought you explain why they are your favorite things.

After our last party we all had new “favorite things” because of some of the gifts we received. . . and what girl doesn’t like to open presents!!!

My next blog will be about my favorite thing I am bringing this month and why it is one of my favorites…. ( it is a secret until after the party !!!) I will also try to take a few pictures throughout the night to post. : )

Here is a few pics of me making my dessert for tomorrow night. I was going to make these yummy Sliders but couldn’t think of how to incorporate one of my favorite things (CHOCOLATE)  on them so I decided to make Almond Joy Brownies because it has brownies ( one of my fav desserts) and chocolate on top ( another of my favs!)
