A big celebration

We went out to dinner last night with some friends and exchanged Christmas gifts. The moon was at it's biggest, brightest, apparently it was very close to earth last night, something called geocentric perigee.

Tonight we're going to dinner at a friend's house. K and I are doing some studying for a math test next week, it's not pretty. So I blog therapeutically. L went to a tennis lesson.

Our new couch set arrived earlier this week and we got it set up today, it works well in the space. It's a modular 5 piece set, a neutral taupe colour. We'll be entertaining 24 people on Dec 27th, M's relatives and a few friends, including us. His mom will bring some dishes (whew!). One member is vegetarian. I understand there will be a special announcement from one of the young couples! And we will also be celebrating M's older sister's 60th birthday (which was actually earlier this month).

You seem to be leading the high life Christine ! Wonderful ! You helped inspire my latest blog, I would have added a link but can't find out how to !

Mom, we've been getting some nice presents, a lot of useable gift cards. I think the Swiss Chalet Rotisserie chicken one will be used for a nice takeout supper tonight!

Barbara, I know you love parties. I left link instructions on your blog. You seem to be inspiring my book purchases!

Christine,
I didn't know that's what the phase of the moon was called. It was so beautiful, the kids and I went out and looked at it through the telescope. It was beautiful. You can see the craters and everything.
Well, sounds like you had fun with the party as you absolutely had a very beautiful background with the moon shining and everything.
Have a great weekend.

Thanks sounds like a fun party coming up :-)

Congratulations on the new couch set!! Are you loving your new space?

I am blogging therapeutically these days too. SO much studying of things that I thought I was done with (math and science UGH!).

Bibi, I didn't know about perigee either, till I saw it in the news! You even have a telescope!

Japra, just think about your upcoming trip home! Roxi is such a wonderful student. And yes, the basement is coming along nicely.
