| Of course, we first had to eat dinner! We had great food at our local Stagecoach Restaurant. Keep your eyes on Shirley, she is a gift stealer! |
 |
| Will Barbara, Kathy and Maxine ever get to eat? Another person to watch is Kathy. Later she ends up stealing a gift. YIKES! |
 |
| Cathy is patiently waiting. Lara is working on her strategy to steal a gift later. |
 |
| Becky is having lots of fun visiting. Beatrice is wondering where to sit later so she can see and touch ALL of the gifts. |
 |
| We couldn't have dinner without dessert afterwards. YUMMY! |
 |
| Kay brought a special project for us to do. Can you guess what it is? Kathy looks like she is working, but she is also working on her gift stealing strategy. Who knew . . . |
 |
| Jewell, Lynda, Barbara and Becky are working on their project. |
 |
| Everyone is still working . . . . Kathy is still working on her strategy disguised as working on her project. |
 |
| Here they are . . . small Christmas boxes! |
 |
| Aren't they neat? |
 |
| Our humble little Christmas tree. |
 |
| Everyone enjoying our delicious snacks. Shirley is contemplating now on how to steal a gift later! You notice she is sitting next to Lara who also steals gifts! |
 |
| Cathy showing us her new bag. Becky is still visiting! |
 |
| The gift exchange begins . . . Kay with her Elvis smile . . we didn't know she could do that! She lost that gift later to Beatrice. |
 |
| Lynda with all of her purple fabric! |
 |
| Maxine looking through her sewing goodies. |
 |
| Becky telling Bea to keep her hands off of her gift! |
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Barbara telling Bea to keep her hands off of her gift, too! |
 |
| Cathy with her purple fabric. How pretty and nice. |
 |
| Darlene with her reindeer sleigh. |
 |
| Jewel got a Rudolph decoration to match the Santa she has. |
 |
| Sue is now our expert in quilting since she received a quilting handbook. Keep her phone number handy! |
 |
| Louise has a new purse to take to church. |
 |
| Oh, here is Beatrice minding her own business, after all. Or does she want to touch Louise's Christmas box? I think she has her eye on it, don't you? |
 |
| MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. And in the words of Tiny Tim from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", "MAY GOD BLESS US EVERYONE". |
