Monday, Dec. 25, 2006, 11:45 am - The Yule Ball posted by Amy Brooks
Our family began a new holiday tradition this year...a Yule Ball. As in the movie/book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, we celebrated the return of the sun on the shortest day of the year - winter solstice - on Friday, Dec. 22 with a special dinner and games and a little bit of dancing.
On Friday afternoon, we let the girls open their first Yule gift.
Each girl got a new dress. Sandy and Amy discuss what they need to do to prepare for the evening's festivities.
Katy admires her new dress!
Katy waits for dinner. The girls celebrated with sparkling grape cider.
Katy started the evening on the wrong foot by telling her sister she looked dumb in her new Yule dress. Sandy was depressed all through dinner. When Katy tried to apologize, Sandy questioned her sincerity and thought that she was playing lip service. Lucky for Katy she felt remorse for her actions and didn't face further sanctions by her parents.
Our chef, Jeremy, escaped the drama in the dinning room. The menu included turkey, broccoli, mashed potatoes, fresh bread and a decedent, seven layer chocolate cake.
The girls loved planning our special evening.
