Home Group Christmas Party



We ended up with 14 people at our house last evening for dinner, our regular group plus one visitor and Rachel. That is a tight squeeze for our house, but we managed by stringing three different tables together which necessitated moving a couch. After dinner it took a few minutes to rearrange the house again so we could sit around the tree for our white elephant gift exchange.

We had three yummy soups, but I learned the hard way that soup doesn't really work for buffet-style serving using Christmas styrofoam plates! Poor Rachel got hot soup all over her hand, so then we passed out real plates to go under the styro ones.

I got a too nice white elephant gift--a blank journal. But as you can see, Bob wasn't too happy with his gift!



Now I need to spend another couple hours putting the house back to its original configuration. Next job: get busy on the Christmas gifts. Two packages for us arrived today, so I'm feeling like I'm way behind.
