i could not let the holidays pass without writing about one our most favorite holiday traditions of all. It's our annual neighborhood-house hopping-progressive-wine tasting-home tours-Christmas party. We really do need to come up with a snappier, easy name for it. Regardless, we started it last year with our crazy fun neighbors and it has become one of the most festive parties of the year!
We plop all of the little kiddos over at one house, under the expert supervision of Miss Mary...and her crew of tween helpers. Cocktails and nibbles await us at each house.
playing Left Right Center at our house...Stacey was the big winner. Have you ever played? it's a lot of fun...we play for money.
it's fun to see everyone's houses all decked out for the holidays...
apologies for the blurry pictures...did i mention cocktails at every house?...
have i also mentioned these are the best neighbors in the world...
and some of them are hilarious...
{yes, that's a wine glass charm on Casey's ear}. At the third house on the tour, Bill spilled cocktail sauce on his yellow sweater {and Casey, Bill & Amie really got into the Christmas spirit while singing Jingle Bells}. So, Bill took his sweater off after trying in vain to use a stain stick on it.
By the fourth house, Gabe was wearing Bill's sweater and i'm not sure Bill ever realized it.
At Stacey & Jim's house, someone discovered this picture of Stacey, her amazing bouffant hairdo and her parents when she was little...
This picture then followed us from house to house for the rest of the night...
finally, some of these nuts posing with our neighborhood bear {read all about him here} between house stops...
Which brings us to the end of the holiday posts here on FPW. Thanks for being patient with me while i caught up on my blogging. Lots of exciting plans for my family and whimsy studios this year. You'll be sure to read all about it here... happy new year, friends!
