Christmas With Calli at Tiah's House, Dec. 20th

Briley was upset because he received "just a box of paper" for Christmas. It was actually a box filled with paper and a crisp $20 bill. He just didn't understand, but then came around!

We had fun celebrating our "early Christmas" with Calli last night.

We had a "spa night"....highlights anyone?


Laughs around for Tiah and Calli as they process!

Tiah's turn.

Calli is getting rid of the gray.

Calli's new puppy! His name is Charger!

Tiah and Dave received the "toilet" on their lawn yesterday. It is a money maker for the Leadership Class at PRHS. They raised money for toys for underpriveledged children...and made quite a bit of loot!

Special treats were baked!

We played a little Yachtzee!

The little guys played Christmasopoly!

Go Briley!

Taylor's turn.

Cheers to a fun evening!

Cute photo of Tara and Tiah.

Miss Raegan received a great little book.

Megan loved her pots and pans!

Thanks kiddies for coming over and sharing your family with us! We love ya!

Chamber Christmas Party, Dec 18th

Our "Cutie" Eva!

Rendy looked cute in the little hat along with the stuffed animal she won during our "White Elephant" exchange.

I LOVED the cute little snowman that Yolanda gave me for Christmas! What fun it was!

Leslie handed out gifts to all of us "Chamber Girls."

Miss Mary was all wrapped up in the fun of the party!!!

Yolanda received a "cute" little "Wine Flies When You're Having Fun" wine glass!

Leslie received her "most wanted" Christmas ornament.

Lisa...the coffee queen...won out with a Starbucks gift!

I think one of the funniest White Elephant gifts was a "talking" fly swatter! It would actually say "Gotcha!" How neat is that?! Of course it said many other things too!

Lucille and Shirley had a great time too! We miss them at the Chamber as they have "retired" from volunteer work, but would be happy to be "on call"!

Our hostess with the mostest....Leslie and her ham!

Too Cute Tucker!

Here is my Tucker dog this morning....on his magic carpet....begging for treats! I couldn't resist sharing his cuteness!

Cookies and Christmas Lights

Can you believe it...texting and popping corn!!!!

Meg's is tasting the treats!

We were out at Tiah's on Sunday, Dec. 13th, and had a wonderful dinner. Tiah began making her traditional Chex/popcorn Mix. Here are a few pictures of the crew during the making of the wonderful treat!

Thanksgiving at Tiah's House

Of course, I always have my pictures out of order when I load them, but you just have to use your imagination. The day after Thanksgiving, Tiah decorated her home for Christmas. Dave did the lights.

Here is Tiah's house in all its glory.

Tiah had some nice decorations on her dining table.

Beau did a great job putting all the "festive" glitter on the table.

Beau and Megan....waiting for the word to dish up the food.

Tara just loves her yams!

Dive in kids!

Tiah is getting the stuffing out of the bird. It was sooooo good!

Our little Bohemian Megan!

Thanksgiving was a nice time this year. We really missed Calli and her family though. Maybe next year we can all be together. I hope everyone had a super dooper holiday!

Halloween 2009

It was a fun Halloween!!!! Hope you had a great one, too!

Kiwanis Krush Tour 2009

Tiah, Calli and I went on the Kiwanis Krush Wine Tour this month. My photos are completely backward in the way we experience the whole day. In this photo Tiah and Calli are deciding whether or not to join a Wine Club at our favorite winery...and they did!!! Mmmmmm, good!


Yolanda and Lynette enjoyed the day!

Calli won a prize on the tour bus. It was a great wine bouquet wine bottle holder! I won't tell you what Tiah won!!!! Ha!
