Yes it certainly WAS a beautiful AND BUSY day on Saturday!! This is event #3 for the day - and the last one!! After we left Josh's birthday party on Saturday, we headed to Steve & Lorri's house for the annual Christmas gathering. We were all trying to figure out what year this was...I do believe that we determined it to be year 15!!! Can you believe it!! It is really quite amazing that all of us have been getting together for a least once a year for that long.As usual, Mark and I had a GREAT time. We all participated in the potluck dinner, then we had some gabbing (as you can never have enough of that) and then it was time for the euchre tournment. Each person puts in $5 and there were 3 tables for a total of 12 people. We played 8 hands for each game. And there were 6 games played. Always a girl and guy partnered. The winners moved - ladies up a table and guys down a table. There was a prize for the top lady and top man!! Boy did Mark and I clean up!! I won for top lady - $30 and Mark tied for top man so he got $15!!! Not bad for a nights work!!
After the cards it was time for the present exchange. We keep it simple. Girls bring presents for a girl and guys bring a present for a guy. We generally play various "present games" and again always enjoy it!!
In the back row (left to right) we have Tony, Jodie, Brenda, John L,Steve, Becky and Ian. Front row (left to right) we have Lisa, John B and Lorri. We REALLY enjoyed ourselves and would like to THANK LORRI & STEVE for being the hosts of this gathering EVERY YEAR for 15 YEARS!! It is GREATLY appreciated by all who attend!!
