Well, we just got home from a fun fun Christmas party with our CG out here. And no matter where you live or who you are, the ol' 'chinese' gift exchange is always a ton of fun and brings lot of laughter.
Now here is a blast from the past...like 14 years ago because I remember I was pregnant with Twinkle. How many of you remember the Cg Christmas gift exchange where one poor guy-who always got THE WORST white elephant gifts every year--received the lace collar? Remember how we all laughed at that? Kathe couldn't stop laughing enough to smile for the picture. All of the pictures from that part of the evening show her in full laugh-mode, tears streaming down her checks, hugging her husband as he modeled the lace collar. Ha! that is one of those stories that gets re-told every time certain groups of friends are together--kinda like the 'where is the milk...if my wife ever' exchange...but that is another post for another day:)
SO the party was lots of fun...good food, good talks and, of course, the gift exchange. It is funny to me how that 'game' always rouses people up...husbands and wives are conniving for the right plan to take the right gift in the right order. The person with the last number always snickering to themselves that they will get just what they want, only to have the gift be passed too many times around by the time it is their turn....yes , yes, we all remember those moments. And I gotta tell you--it is as fun here in Phoenix as it has been in Maryland.
Minus the lace collar exchange, but that was a once in a life time, legendary event.
Nothing could compete with that one.
I'll be posting some pictures tomorrow....
see you then!
