Christmas Fun

We have had a lot of fun these last few weekends in December with Christmas parties, dinners and quality time with people we love. Oh, and did I mention way. too. much. food? Good Lord, I have taken advantage of being pregnant and the fact that I can't enjoy a glass of wine or two is certainly made up for in the amount of sugar I've consumed. Here are some fun pictures from some recent outings.


The gentlemen who took their wives out to a fancy dinner at Ruth Chris. These guys are reading Bringing Up Girls together (all are fathers of young daughters) and wanted to take their brides out to practice etiquette. One day they will take their daughters so that they understand the importance of being treated like a lady. It was a really special evening.


Lighting wasn't great (low lighting creates that romantic ambiance, right?!), but here's Geoff and I at Ruth Chris. It was such a delicious meal (and the next night we went to Maggiano's for Geoff's company Christmas dinner - did I mention I was up 3 pounds at my doctor's appointment the next week?)


My monthly dinner club girls and our significant others.


The women's ministry leadership team I am so blessed to be a part of. We had our Christmas dinner at our house again this year!
