So Saturday was to be our 4th Annual Girls' Christmas Party with my book club and all our gal pals. This year I had asked R & A from my Mom's Group to come too, and we were all looking forward to it!
Turns out Saturday in Calgary - not so fine of a day weather wise. We got a blizzard on Friday and the community that my friend C who was hosting the party lives in, the only access road to the community was closed down. So... party was postponed, much to the dismay and regret of R & A and myself. So, we decided to have a party anyway, bring our goodies to share, our gifts to exchange and just have a nice evening visiting and eating and relaxing without the kids. My hubby was out for the evening being designated drivers with A's hubby for a Christmas party that their former neighbour's car dealership had so we already had a babysitter. A had cancelled hers as it had been last minute and their family doing them a favor, so R and I went to A's house. The fun part was that R's car was blocked into their back carport because quite a few neighbours had parked their cars haphazardly in the alley. So... M went and picked her up and I drove her home. It was an extra hour and a half of driving for us, but it was well worth it! It was funny, because when she called me to tell me that she couldn't drive and would need a ride, I had to call her back as we needed to figure out logistics. It took me a little while to phone her, and in the meantime her husband was telling here that it wasn't likely that we would come pick her up and to be prepared for that. I was so thankful for my own DH and how he knew that this was really important to me and made a way for us all to be together. We had such a good time, if we hadn't of gotten together, I would've really missed out.
I just love spending time with these ladies. They look like fun, hey? :) Good friends - a blessing from God!
(I don't normally have a double chin, but we were in a hurry to get going - you start gabbing and lose all track of time and my babysitters were waiting. Still had to take R home after this.)
