I'm bringing Book Club back!

Let's all admit it ladies, we've really fallen off track. While yes we've had a lot of fun in all our meetings the past few months...we've been really bad about actually reading the book.

So, here's what we need...we need a host for February Book Club and a book. A really good easy book that everyone is going to read. Please comment below or email suggestions. Let's pick one soon so everyone has lots of time to read!!

Kris suggested An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin.

Book Club Christmas Party 2010

Thanks so much for hosting Tiffany, it was a fun night!

Great food, great wine, great friends and great gifts. All the usuals.


There were lots of good gifts this year!






But nothing really compared to this gift. I think everyone gave it a try!





We were so happy to have surprise guest in from NYC.

Lots of pictures!

A first snow fall.

And a Champagne Toast!

Book Club Girls Night

The original plan was to play some games but unfortunately...that didn't happen due to the tiny Catch Phrase we had.


Instead we ate and drank a lot!


And had a dance party of some sort?


The night was really fun! I know everyone had fun due to the 15 bottles of wine, 1 bottle of champagne and 2 half drank bottles of red that were scattered around the apartment in the morning.


(not pictured Tiff, sorry we took this after you left)

Next up BCCP!
