We had a Christmas Party a few weekends ago, kind of like a do-over for last year's party, seeing as ours was cut in half with a newly discovered cashew allergy that sobered everyone up in the family!!!!
We had the family over from up North, and Marks' cousins' family too, as we had promised all of them a steamboat party, and thought we should make it interesting, by adding a 'bad taste' theme. What a hit!!!!
I had a lovely brown glittered one shoulder top, and found a bargain at lifeline of a faux fur jumper. Mark had some beautiful purple tweed pants, Thomas had mismatching overalls, and Hayden was business up top, bed on the bottom!! We were the gracious hosts, and the weather was a little chilly, but was perfect for our Christmas in July setting out on our back deck!!!
The families all dressed up (special mention to Uncle Dale for a flourescent yellow suit, complete with blonde mullet wig)
We had a great time using the steamboat, complete with lovely fondue style dipping chocolate at the end of the night.
Trudy and I stayed up until the wee small hours of the morning, drinking rose and solving all the problems of the world, while everyone else snuck to bed at a reasonable hour!!!!
It was a wonderful gathering - heaps of laughs, great food, good wine, and lots of smiles!!!!
