Christmas Parties Begin in Earnest

Saturday night was my friend's annual Christmas party. We always have a delightful time dressing up and eating lots of good food. After lots of time to eat and chat (and get caught up on the year's activities), we have a Yankee Gift Exchange and play games (Guestures, four-on-a-couch, and psychiatrist this year). It was lots of fun.

Of course, I took the opportunity to get a bit of a "baby fix." Rose was such a sweet little baby. She is 11 months old in case you are wondering. I also enjoyed hearing about people's year and getting to know some friends better. Altogether it was a very successful evening as far as I am concerned. I was sorry my sister couldn't attend (she was recovering from the stomach flu), but everything else went well.

If you have never played psychiatrist, it is lots of fun--especially if there is someone there who has never played it before. And there was. The first round we did the "easy" version. Then we did a good and hard one; many thanks to Kristen who was a great sport in her role as psychiatrist and did finally figure out our problem.
