Enjoying an afternoon
of champagne cocktails, eggnog, Scott's delicious hors d'oeuvres
and friends - new and old! |
The house was decorated and
spotless, the food was bought and prepared, the drinks were
chilled and, most importantly, the major renovations of the year
were finished - time to invite the friends! We spent a lovely
Saturday afternoon and early evening, welcoming friends into our
home and celebrating the holidays with food and (alcoholic)
cheer! The champagne cocktails and eggnog were enjoyed by
all and the conversation was lively. We had a wonderful
time mingling with old friends and making new ones and hope our
guests enjoyed themselves as much as we did. Thanks to all
who attended for helping make our party a success (and for
your wonderful hostess gifts!). We hope to see you all
again soon and wish you a joyful holiday season!
