It seemed as though this year I’d be missing out on Christmas parties being that I’m on maternity leave. It’s not that we weren’t invited to the salon Christmas party (a dinner cruise!); we were.

We were given specific instructions to (1) find some gag gift laying around the house and (2) make some personal coupon to be redeemed by the recipient. Naturally I was thrilled to have an opportunity to purge some junk from my house (nice junk though). And since Betty freed up some time for me, I was able to get crafty with the coupons.

Hunter owes us an enchilada dinner and Janice is going to make an apple pie.
Sherri’s pictures were beautiful. Love the one of the two of them sitting together in the field.
Yes, you were very pregnant indeed!
