Holiday Reception at the White House




As you would expect, the Gingerbread House was truly incredible. Even the garden looked great. Someone did a most fantastic job.

Complete with a children's choir and a band. That is one huge piano!

The food was wonderful and plentiful. It truly was delicious. Plenty of wine was available, but we settled for plain water - or sparkling water.

And no - I did not eat all the dessert, but I sampled all that was on my plate.

Let's see - shrimp, crab, salmon, ham, beef roast and turkey; too many vegetables to name, but the tiny roasted potatoes were the greatest of them all, followed by the asparagus.

It was truly an enjoyable experience!

Very pretty decorations - everywhere.

The wreath's were absolutely stunning. I did not even photograph them all!
