I survived another Christmas party...I'm sure you were all worried.
I had the girls snap a bunch of pictures through the night.
Speaking of snapping....I did get a little snappy with my family just prior to the 7'oclock party start time.
I always get a bit crazy trying to ready the food and myself....even with the help of my three favorite people, I get snap happy at everyone. I always apologize and they still love me. But maybe, they love me a little less each year.
The Coach really did a lot of the food this year...ordering and picking things up without me having to get into the middle of it was fabulous. He is a keeper.
We learned new billiard game called CRUD.
Our pool table has never seen so much action....it was a blast. There was pushing, shoving, cussing and laughing.
Cussing is always fun when drinking is involved.
I might have burnt a few calories running around the pool table, while cussing.
Crud is a cuss word...right?
We had a great time...and we were all exhausted on Sunday. Ok, maybe the kids were not exhausted, they went Christmas shopping.
Do you see that someone left a fork in the middle of my nativity? I have a feeling I know who did this...
and Jesus does not appreciate this type of humor.
And late Sunday night, I found a dirty dish IN MY REFRIGERATOR.
What is this world coming to?
Out of our 31 guests, I've got the perp narrowed down to three people.

It is Monday morning, and I am still tired. How old am I?
How was your weekend??? Any parties? Any cussing?
Sounds like a fun party. We had bunco at our house on Friday and yes, there was lots of food, drinks and some cussing involved. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd you're not the only one that gets a little nutty before having a house full of guests. :-)
My Christmas pants are just tight...even without parties!
ReplyDeleteYou all have so much fun!
I love how brave you are. I would never post photos of my coke habit on my blog. But really, use a credit card next time instead of a fork. You'll get much better results.
ReplyDeletem.
I don't for one minute believe that YOU were doing any cussing. I, on the other hand, don't need no stinkin' game to cuss. Oh, but you knew that already, didn't you? ;-)
ReplyDeleteNo parties {unless you count our cookie baking get-together}, lots of cussing. Noooooo, just kidding ;) No cussing either. But my pants are getting too tight. It's the dang cookies! Oh wait, is dang a cuss word? If so, I guess I *have* been doing a lot of cussing. Whoops!
ReplyDeleteHad my annual cookie party this weekend. Doesn't look as crazy as yours!
ReplyDeleteMornin' Suzanne, Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing the pics! Did your cats stare at you guys through the doors??? Did they cuss, too????
ReplyDeleteThat looks as if it was a very good party. Look at it this way: if you DON'T find assorted dishes and household items in odd places, perhaps the party was too tame. You must have struck just the right note between "lovely" and "CRUD."
ReplyDeleteFor swear-word assistance, please see Laura (Smileygirl). That beautiful, sweet lady can cuss more creatively than anyone I have ever known before. Words like "ratb*astard" just roll right out without a hitch.
No parties, but plenty of cussing. ;) And I'm totally laughing at Mark's comment!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a very fun party indeed! LOVE that you have it narrowed down to 3 possible perps ; ).
ReplyDeleteSo funny about the dirty dishes! Your nativity scene is pretty...fork & all!
ReplyDeletethree perps??? wow.
ReplyDeletenow i'm a little shocked!!
are you sure Jesus doesn't like the fork? he did eventually eat, you know.
your party was amazing, as always. and you were beyond amazing. and sparkly! love you!
Your party! I am always so jealous when your party rolls around because you and Dawn get to be together...and I don't get to be with either of you. But it looks like a good time was had by all...but ew on the dish in the frig. That is kinda weird. Love the pics..festive night. : )
ReplyDeleteWhen you find an empty dirty plate in your fridge AND a fork in the Nativity you can be assured that everyone had a great time at the party!
ReplyDeleteNo parties - - that would be this weekend coming up! We finally had a non-stressful weekend - - - still quite busy but relaxing, too - - - as much as it can be with all the extra Christmas shopping, cards, etc. ...... and you are probably not alone in being snappy before a gathering. It's a LOT of work and it gets to us right before it's time for fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Suz, Sounds like a great party... Thanks for sharing the pictures...
ReplyDeleteHope you can get some rest now...
Hugs,
Betsy
Work party. Not mine. Not as much fun as your party. Some cussing.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to google "Crud"--maybe we'll play when everyone gets home.
Our weekend was positively quiet compared to yours. But then, we haven't found any dirty dishes in the refrigerator, so I won't complain. It sounds (and looks) like your party was a roaring success even if a few forks did get misplaced.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun was had by all!
ReplyDeleteLast action our pool table saw was me doing sommersaults on it...but it wasn't a Christmas party it was a post birthday celebration...
Happy Monday!
Oh look at those happy faces sweetie. I can tell your the hostess with the mostess!!! I bet ya'll had a blast!
ReplyDeleteI've got a jump on ya with the tight pants dept. We had a wedding here then we had three different Thanksgiving dinners!!! Now I'm finishin' up the candy and fudge. {{{SIGH}}} Heeehehehe!!!
I hear ya loud and clear on the picture takin'. I get so busy takin' care of the food and guests that after the house is emptied I think....Dang it to thunder, I didn't take any pictures....again!
Love your nativity scene, it's just gorgeous...fork and all!
God bless ya and have a marvelous day sweetie!
BTW..Giveaway...my place...ya'll come!!! :o)
Mmm, I'd like a sparkly purple party shirt too!
ReplyDeleteOh CRUD, I always miss the fun :(
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't. And you're not old yet....just a little seasoned:) And loved....
it seems like fun party although sorry for the dirty dish but i think it means people had awesome loads of fun :)
