Annual Christmas Party Weekend


This year and last year...

Cliff and I had a nice night away on Saturday night. We drove in the snow there and back to Richmond! We upgraded to a luxurious suite that had a wonderful king size bed! It was hard to get Cliff to stop snoring as he was so far away from me lol.

We didn't win any prizes this year, but we still had a fun time at the Casino night. I hung out with Mrs. Merriman and Mrs. McNeil most of the night! We played Blackjack. That was my first time playing that at this party in 5 years.

We shipped 2 kids to Nannie and Pappa's for the night, and 3 stayed at home with the in-laws. Caroline did AWESOME. My chest however, did not do so well. I was very engorged which made for an uncomfortable night, even in the down filled feather bed and duvet. Oh well. I still managed to sleep in until 9 am! That was a treat, but we did go to bed around 2:30 am. I would say a gin and tonic is my new drink! Oh yes, I had many drinks! And I enjoyed them ALL!

Dinner was nice, and so were the desserts. Yummy. No dancing this year, maybe next year eh!

I am happy to report to those who care, Cliff and I just slept FYI. We can promise there will be no more Christmas Party babies lol. So, you can all sleep easy tonight.

What a hansome pair - this year (and last!)
I would hope that the gin was Tanquery (sp?) (That is the BEST gin! In my opinion) Just thought I'd let you know since it is your "new drink"! That and it's cool that it "glows"... (Gin is also known as "panty remover" so I was glad to hear all you did was... sleep...) xo Andrea

Cliff must have felt he was going out with someone new last night with your beautiful new hair color - it's a gorgeous shade!

Glad you guys had fun - you deserve a night out once in a while. And glad you made it home safely with all this crazy snow.

Cathy sounds like you guys had a GREAT GREAT time!!! I can't believe you braved that snow all the way out to Richmond... and kid free for an entire night. I bet you didn't know what to do with yourself. Glad you had a great time!
