19th and 20th

on the 19th....

the gbc(girls book club) celebrated christmas together this weekend.

such a great time.

my super cultered foodie friends found all kinds of things to order that i had never eaten in my life.

hummus, for one.

i know.

uncultured swine here.

our bags for white elephant. mindy and jen.

we went to their fave spot, oeno, a wine bar in old town.

amy and tammy--tammy is our out of town gbc member.

all the girls are maize grads, so it's always like a mini maize reunion.

tammy and i. look how girly i am. :)

it was dark in there...my bad. i was bombarded with goodies.

bag of super decorated sugar cookies from amy along with a pile of cd's.

a special gbc ornament from jen.

btw, jen, i saw the line from agnes and i swear a tear was in my eye!

no joke!

thanks for all of the fun, girls!!

on to the 20th....

we did some running around.

a visit for haircuts at papa and granny's.

picked up some cd's from mike(thanks for those!!!)

and then ran out to haysville to see tari.

aiden made a new friend.

he LOVES woody...or 'howdy howdy', as he calls him.

a little hug for his friend.

he told me this a.m. that he wanted to go to morgan's house and play with HIS howdy howdy.

good luck getting that away from aunt tari.

emily enjoyed playing in the tent.

the punks that can't cooperate for photos.

shawn's candid moment. :)

thanks for letting us hang out.

and enduring my daughter's satanic meltdown. ugh.
