Christmas Parties

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!! We are all getting together to celebrate this wonderful season called Christmas. Have I ever told you that my favorite time of the year is between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Sadly this year I feel like a bit of a scrooge. This has been a trying year but I’m sure trying to get past it because this is my favorite time of the year!

So anyway Saturday night we got dressed up and headed to the MO Governors Mounted Guard Christmas party. Hubby recently got involved with it. That makes me a Guard Gal :).

Anyway, everyone brought a gag gift to the party, and then all the guard members donated money to the CP Center in Webb City. I’d like to brag that they were able to raise over $200 for the CP center’s Christmas presents. They decided the money would be better than donating gifts, that way the center could buy the gifts that were really needed.

Then the fun ensued with the gifts. Oh yeah, we had food too… yum! Brisket, corn casserole, potatoes, ham, rolls, and desserts galore.

I have to admit this did brighten my spirits this holiday season! Now, where has my spirit gone anyway… has anyone seen it?

Hugs for Shaye!!

I may sound like a broken record but don’t forget about the Review Extravaganza!! You have today and tomorrow to still get signed up!!!

    So as you’ve seen in previous posts, I’m engaged and planning a wedding. Plans are coming together fairly well, but my biggest fear, finding “the” dress.
