It's the most wonderful time of the year. And we are gathering at Queen Leslie's house to eat, play and be merry.
 |
| The Red Hatters have arrived! |
First things first (as always) . . . . F.O.O.D!
 |
| Everything looks SOOOO delish! |
 |
And it was. Empty plates and full tummies!
And lots of laughs and crazy conversations. |
Next we moved into the family room for our gift exchange . . .
 |
Pretty Tree. Pretty Gifts.
Wonder what's under all those pretty wrappings??? |
Barbara had a really special gift for Dixie . . . .
 |
| Such a beautiful and meaningful cross. |
Then came the silly draw-a-number, choose-a-gift, and then someone steals it game. When all the dust settled, we were all really happy with our gifts . . .
 |
| L-R: Debbie, Carol L, Leslie, Barbara, Dixie, Chris, Joy |
The rest of the afternoon was spent watching Christmas movies and enjoying each other's company.
And of course, remembering the real reason for the season . . .
 |
| Happy Birthday Jesus |
Another year of fun and friendship . . . . Looking forward to 2017 and all the adventures we'll have together and all the memories we'll make. Merry Christmas F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
