We had such a fun weekend! I spent the day at Scott's with my Mom, Aunt D, and Beverly before having my nails done with Jill and Hollie. Later, we re-joined Mom for dinner at Truffles. David and Wesley had a nice man-date, and we all waited on Kim and Nick to arrive from Nashville.
On Saturday, we all got ready for Lauren's first party - her bridal tea at the Ritz Carlton Buckhead. It was so nice - the food just kept coming ! Afterward, we took lots of pics on the stairs.  |
| The Bride to Be with all of her girls! |
After the Ritz tea, us college friends went to Lauren and Renee's for our annual Christmas swap. I remember us doing this while living in the ADPi house - back in 2003! And we've carried on the tradition ever since!
 |
| Lauren and Renee really went all out for our girlfriend swap! |
 |
| Look at all those presents! |
 |
| Renee, one of the awesome co-hosts! |

A few years ago, we added a Dirty Santa swap - with ornaments! Most of the time, we never trade because they're all so pretty! I opened Lauren's ornament - the adorable Rejoice ceramic ball. I love it!
Hollie drew my name, and she hooked me up with the most fun goodies! I drew Meredith, and sadly she couldn't be there and we missed her! But, we'll see her in a week and I will give her her goodies then! |
 |
| After a big day of the bridal tea and the girly swap, we all ended up at Big Ketch with the boys for dinner. |
 |
| And later at Red Door for some ski ball! I love the look on Kim's face, and Hollie's smirk in this pic of David getting ready to bowl. |
On Sunday, David and I were sad to say goodbye to our friends again. But, we were happy to get ready for the Griffin Christmas 2011. Every year, we do a Dirty Santa Swap and its so fun!

| These two cutie pies loved swimming together and playing outside. |
 |
| As my gift to everyone, I drew Grandmother's house |
 |
| I found these fun frames at Ikea |
 |
| And had them ready for the Griffin Christmas |
 |
| As part of my Dirty Santa Swap gift, I included a big jar of Grandmother's hot chocolate. The recipe has cocoa, creamer, Splenda, instant coffee, cinnamon, and nutmeg in it. |
This weekend, David and I will be driving to Hawkinsville for 4 (yes, four!!) Christmas parties/family gatherings...stay tuned for more on those! :) Merry Merry!
