Girlfriend Party

Happy Sunday.

Friday night I had my annual Girlfriend Charity Party.  This is a party I have at my home each year to bring all my bff's together to share a night of good food, fun and friendship.  Love all of these girls in my life and it is a great night to celebrate our love and friendship for each other.

Just thought I would show you a few pics of the party.  I get so busy with hosting I forget to take a lot of pics.  Here are a few.

I am so happy I have this large open dining room.  I can set up my tables so we can all sit together.  We play games so it is nice to be all at one table for those.

I put a favors out on the table for each girl.  You can see my post here on those.

Getting my food table ready.  We do walking tacos as the main appetizer.  Have you ever had a walking taco?  You take Frito lunch size bags.  You can see them in the upper left corner on the table.  Cut them open and then each girl fills the Frito bags with chicken or taco meats and then I have all the toppings to add. Sorry did not get a finished picture with all the toppings put out.   Each girl can then walk around with their appetizer and enjoy.  They are fun and everyone can have them their way!

Margarita Drink Station in the kitchen.

Some of my long time bff's.  Oh how I love these girls.

Opening some of the girlfriend charity gifts.  Each girl brings a exchange gift for another girl at the party.  The gifts purchased must benefit a charity in some way.  The gifts are always fabulous and the charities that they benefit are wonderful.  It amazes me each year the fabulous gifts each of the girls bring to exchange.

Years ago when I started this party it was just me and my bff's.  Now that my two daughters are grown they bring their bff's to the party.  My daughter Kim on the far right and her friends dressed in a theme for their jammies.  They were elf's.  Every Christmas Party needs a few elf's RIGHT?!!

My other daughter Jen second from the right and her bff's were Christmas sock monkeys.  I can share something special about this picture now.  My daughter is going to have another baby.  I can finally spread the word.  She is starting to show in this picture.  So Abby will be getting a sister or brother for the beginning of summer.

Here is our group pic with all of us in our Christmas jammies. We all just have a wonderful evening together.
My little granddaughter Abby wore her jammies to the party too.  Abby went with Grandpa to the movies first and then joined us girls later.  Love that little 5 year old wants to be part of the party now too!


Well just a few pictures I remember to take of the fun night.  It is bittersweet again for me.  This will be my last year to host the party in this home since it is now sold.  No matter where we land in this coming new year I  hope next year I will be able to host my special party for these beautiful friends.

Hope your decor is happening and your cookies are baking and your shopping and wrapping are almost finished.
Enjoy the down hill slide into Christmas.  Just goes too fast.
Have a good week.
Love you all.
