Bunco Christmas

I know when I've gotten two texts/emails from Ron in the course of several days to update the blog that I have indeed left you lingering.  What can I say?  It's Christmas and all the shopping, planning, partying, wrapping, going to and from has gotten the best of me.  We've had four Christmas parties this week alone, not to mention I have four houses under contract (hallelujah!) all closing within a months time.  Tonight, I'll share photos of my Bunco groups Christmas party last Friday night the 3rd.  We planned a progressive dinner in my neighborhood and took the party on the road for the different courses throughout the night.  Our bunco group meets once a month and it is truly a "girls night" we look forward to for weeks in advance.  I love these girls and I'm so fortunate to have such a great group to be a part of!

We had appetizers and salads at Lindsay's fabulously decorated pad.  Lindsay even had Santa surprise the group with presents!  All the ladies received Santa hats and the guys got lumps of coal!

Our spouses all enjoyed hanging by the fire pit

We enjoyed cobb salad, shrimp cocktail and captain rodney dip which has become my new fave

After our starters, we headed on to the my house for the main course, we had mainly pick up finger foods, it was delish!

After dinner, it was off to Rachael's we went for dessert.  By this point we were all completely stuffed and miserable.  Rachael served spiced rum and sparking grape juice for three of us that are pregnant.

This get together was the first time all of our husbands were allowed at one of our bunco festivities.  Needless to say, the night was much tamer than our usual gatherings.  It was a great night and a great start to the Christmas parties that followed which I'm now excited to say are over!  Now, we can focus on the holiday and returning to NC in a few days to be with family.
