Verity White Elephant Christmas Party

What a fun time.....Todd and Shannon had a great party this past Saturday. Great food, fun game (Doug and I tied with Harry for a three way win), surprised even us with what we know about Christmas. Of course we couldn't have gotten all the reindeer names without Amber, plus a few other questions. The white elephant exchange was a blast with me taking the best gift from Todd and then Shannon's Uncle taking it from me...darn. I still ended up with a beautiful three wick candle and Todd with a Rubik's Cube (snicker snicker, sorry Todd) Doug got a nice bottle of wine. Adam got glasses and a bottle of Bailey's Mint that I'm sure he will keep until his 21st birthday or regift it. And yes I still believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy. The food was wonderful and everyone ate to their fill. Doug and I were worried when we went to Weight Watchers this morning but were able to show a small loss.
Packed and ready to leave for Washington on Wednesday. Doug's cousin Allen and wife Diane are here and will drive us to Tampa to catch our flight. Todd was going to drive us but is having a minor (we hope) procedure on his back that morning and we don't want him driving that far to mess anything up. We hope this will help and he won't have to have an operation, would like to see him be able to walk without pain.
