More Celebrations

The past few days have been really fun as we've been celebrating Christmas with our friends! We had a fun evening at the Lowry's, singing Christmas carols and eating some delicious fondue. It was the coldest night in Gainesville so far this year...26 degrees!! It definitely set the right mood for the holiday and was a heat wave compared to what we're going to on Sunday!

Last night, we had a few friends over for the time-honored Tobler tradition of gingerbread house making. No cheating here...everyone started with a box of graham crackers and some "glue." I made Ashley's yummy dip recipes, which I posted in my "what's cooking section" on the right. Beware, you'll gain weight just thinking about them. Thus, I posted two...one for each thigh! (One wouldn't want to be lopsided!)

We'll be getting ready for our trip to Idaho over the next couple of days and our next post will likely be from there!

Until then, enjoy some pics of our recent festivities!
