The Exchange & Brunch
(This is part of 3 posts. Click here for the first post and here for the third.)In case you’ve never been to one, it’s pretty simple. Each guest makes their favorite treat. I went with treats instead of cookies because … well, for one, my mom CANNOT make cookies to save her life and she’s not a lone. Plus there are so many yummies out there that get looked over that aren’t cookies. You decide how much each guest should bring; I chose 2-3 dozen. Then guests come and exchange and take home a little bit of everything. Next year I think I’ll ask for 3-4 dozen and let us sample while we are there.
I, along with the help of a friend and my mother, provided some brunch like food for the women to enjoy as they chatted and looked the treats over. We also played a trivia game which came with prizes, had a door prize, and had prizes for the prettiest, the easiest, the most creative, and most adventurous.

How about some gingerbread men (sugar) with your coffee? Thanks to my mom for coming over the night before and helping create.

And of course, the cutest little chef of all
Who could not for the life of her stay still... and she's off to the kitchen ... watch out Rachael Ray!
