Holiday Cheer

This weekend we had a couple of Christmas functions to attend.
My friend Pauline had her annual Chrirstmas Open House and it was a great time as usual. She is always so organized and her house was wonderfully decorated for the holidays. We spent the evening in her newly finished basement at the bar her husband Ken did. Well, he did the whole basement and it looks excellent. It was very cozy by the fire and refreshing at the bar.
Our visit was interrupted as we had to go to Jeff's work party held at the restaurant called Crabby Joe's (how appropriate for the holidays! haha). The food was good this time but the service was a bit to be desired. Hopefully that will be enough to get it changed to somewhere different next year. We had a nice time there. We sat with Jeff's friend Eric & his wife Krista, who is expecting their second child in June. Pat & Ron, Eric's parents, were also at our table. It almost felt like the 6 of us were just out for dinner together because the company was sooo good we forgot about the rest of the bunch.
We had an invitation back to Sandy's for the after party but had to decline since we had only spent a short time at Pauline's. Back at Pauline's we had some cheer, a chat with old friends and a good time. All in all, a success.
Thanks Pauline again for inviting us and for a great time.
