It was a HUGE success!

:O)

I was so happy for her .... packed house, loads of yummies from the friend who catered for me (and is starting his very own business, too) and loads of happy ladies buying ....

buying .....

and buying!

My mom was so thrilled, and so overwhelmed with the purchasing .... the evening was a success, and truly a kick off for great things to come!

Friday however, was a recovery day. ;) *somebody* had some red wine Thursday evening at the successful party, and her head was a wee bit tender in the AM. It was a challenge, ahem for her to function for the first few hours of the morning. But with time, and a gallon of water, I, erhm, SHE seemed to feel somewhat back to her old self.

she went to bed early Friday night though. :

another hockey day today, in a far away city ... a little drive, with the little man, and a great game he played. daddy stayed home today with the little lady for some QT and some holiday decorating (yep, earning some browning points rigging up those lights, he is!) and the place looks great!

looking forward to our Sunday .... some skating in the AM, hockey team photos, and then a later afternoon game ..... in between there, perhaps a tree tagging!

there is a little nip in the air tonight, and with that nip and the lights up and on the house, the Holiday cards almost ready to be sent off with the post office, i am feeling very, very festive .... december arrived *just in time* ~~

let the Holidays begin!

have a great sunday!
