Christmas Party!
This was the first Christmas Party in our new home. I have been very stressed about how everyone is going to fit, how the flow will be, etc. But it all worked out great. There was plenty of room for everyone. Having 2 dining tables inside, plus the library, plus outdoor seating was great.
This year, we decided to give ourselves a break. We have always made a turkey and a ham and Steve is always carving away in the kitchen while the party is going. This year, we ordered the meats from 4 Rivers. Brilliant. Everyone was happy. We spent just a little more money than we normally we would, but this way, there was less mess and Steve was free to enjoy the party.
I think everyone had a really good time. No awkward gifts were given.
Although, there were awkwardly wrapped gifts. Oh, Jon...
We always love hosting this party. Been over 10 years now.
This is Nicole's expression to knowing she received a stuffed CFA cow as her gift. Sigh, will people never learn?
I am always so grateful to Terry for MC'ing the game portion of the evening. It became too stressful to me a few years ago and I was ready to discontinue it. He stepped up and always does a terrific job.
