Like i said
in my last post we had two parties to attend on Saturday. Gavin, our neighbor across the street, turned 3. The kids had a blast. Jack and Ella were the last two standing in the game of hot potato. Neither was quite sure but one ended up with a prize and the other with the potato so they both thought they won. :) Saturday night another neighbor was having a "Tacky Christmas" party. I was so excited but so exhausted i didn't think we would make it. After receiving a pep call from the party we went down about 10:30ish. I
felt so old thinking i should have been going to bed instead going to a party. I had to tell myself how young i still am. We got there and tacky was the word. Some of the most amusing sweater vests adorned with appliques, beads, embroidery and sequins. Crushed velvet shoes and reindeer slippers (that had flashing lights), Stripped socks with flashing lights (worn by Lynette with the flashing shoes), elf aprons and really "christmasy" earrings. After lots of good conversation they broke out the game of mad gab. It was so fun. Girls won, it wasn't even close. Finally all of Conrad and Stefanie's co-workers cleared out and it was just the neighbors. A little after 2 Eric and i headed home. He had to be at work at 6:30. Even though we were so tired i am so glad we went. It is really hard to find neighbors like these.
