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!
