Well, you might have thought all parties for Pat and Chrissy were over now that they were married. I'm sure they hoped so too! But it was not to be.
This past weekend we had a "Christmas in July" picnic for them in order to introduce Chrissy to friend and family who could not make it to the wedding. Attendance requirement...a tree ornament for their first Christmas. The party turned out to be a lot of fun.

Opening the ornaments...Bob's icicles were beautful!
We loved Terry's fat Santa!
And Julie's tacky ornament was a huge hit!
As was George and Heather's flamingo.
Pat and Chrissy liked Lilly's gourd ornament...
And Heather's penguin.
Harry and Sandy sent two beautiful hand-blown ornaments form North Carolina.
Bob and Elise sent "Kringles" in their stead. We missed you two!

Harry and Sandy's ornaments were really beautiful.
The flamingo was fantastic!
More fun ornaments.
And it wouldn't be Christmas without Santa.
Thank you to all the Elves that made this such a fun party! We missed you too Elf David. Your fireworks were FANTASTIC!
