No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

The Ladies' Group Christmas Party

Sue B. and Kristin carry in their treats for the table, with Judy C. looking on
 There was punch plus plenty of Diet Coke to wash down our desserts
Look at this sumptuous spread!
Terri T. had us playing Christmas carol Pictionary. This is Terri H. doing the drawing her team

 Here are a few shots of the ladies at the tables: Betty (standing) Jean, Donna, Becky, Renee, and Janet
From the left is LuAnn, Gretchen, Judy, Jayne, Fran, and Ethel (behind her)
Donna is opening a gift she chose from under the tree, since someone took her first choice. From left is Jean (a friend of Betty's who has joined our Monday Bible study), Donna, and her daughter, Becky 
 Terri T. looks on as Jean unwraps a lovely Bible cover, which oddly enough, was NOT stolen from her! (not shown is Twila, who out of the shot)
 Lynn is about to steal a gift from Terri H. but feels so badly about doing so that she turned red in the face. We have Janet, Sue, Terri, Lynn, Sue K., and Kristin (her daughter)
Fran, Ethel, Jean, and Betty are laughing as Lynn steals the gift from Terri 
...and here is what I ended up with, the only gift 'retired' from being stolen. It is a glass candle holder with a battery-operated scented candle inside, so perfect for me! Next to it is the lovely bookmark Terri bestowed on us all at the party. 'Twas a great night!
