Small Group Christmas Party

We've been away from blogging for a couple of weeks - keeping busy with Christmastime festivities and a week away in Wheaton with family! Now to catch up with some of December's happenings. First, our White Elephant party with the small group from that we have recently joined with couples from church. The nice thing about the group is that all 6 couples have had new babies in the last year or so, including two others less than a month older than Gemma. It is wonderful to be making friends here in B-town!!!

Here's me and Laura, awaiting our gift choosing turns.

Andrew, Leah and Jane, who had fun playing with leftover wrappings.

Kevin and Emma - wow, nice blow-up parrot.

Wes, Lilah, Erin and Elise

And Gemma, who kicked on the floor and drooled happily throughout the festivities

Of course there was food...and here are shots of our contributions: ceasar salad bites and foccaccia with caramelised onion, olive tapenade and goat cheese.
