"Santa" Dan has arrived and brought with him a truck full of presents!!! So many we had to put them in a room. Crazy!!

Friend party

We are starting the Christmas season with a fun dinner with our great friends!

 We always decorate and serve on the finest paper and plastic ware!!! Ha! such bling!!

 You always know it's an adult party at our house when we put out the "major award" leg lamp!

 After we filled out tummies with yummy food, we played a wild game of LCR or RCL or CLR or whatever you call it. Simple dice game and we play for high end prizes!

 woo hoo!

 Had to get out the second round of sparkling cider!!

 The BFF's... me, Sharon and Brenda

The BFF's hubbies... Jerry, Carl and Mike

Gunshow/poinsettias

The first weekend in December is always the gunshow and Mikes birthday... so we go to the gunshow for Mikes birthday present!! This year me Mike and Brandon went to the gunshow and did a lot looking and a little shopping... Ha!.... Glad it wasn't the other way around! But they really don't want ya to take pictures at the gunshow so no pictures... BUT on the way home I wanted to stop at the Poinsettia festival. I was a little dissappointed cuz I though it was going to be much bigger, but they did have some cool looking poinsettias.

 Time to pose!!! so cute!

 Ha! I made everybody have a picture in front of the poinsettia tree!

OK... time to go!!! and it was cold as you can see by my gloves!! I had a fun day with the guys!!!
