Bonco Babe Christmas Party

This year, Toni, the hostess with the mostess, threw a humdinger of a Christmas Bonco. We all showed up in our Christmas PJs and had a great dinner, exchanged gifts and also did the stealing gift game. We actually didn't play Bonco, which was just fine with me. It was nice to just visit with this great group of women. It's even more fun, when we mix it up and we have a theme bonco. Pajamas was this year, and how nice is it to actually put on your PJs and slippers and go out!!! So comfortable.
Aubrey had my name, and got me what I totally wanted which was a tree smelling candle from Bath and Body, plus some other B&B things. This candle smells sooo good, I try to get one every year.

This is the gift I snatched away from a fellow Bonco Babe. You could only steal twice, so I got lucky. It's the cutest set of whimsical snowmen
here's Julie and Chris, (two bonco lifers) Julie came complete with Curlers in her hair. So Cute.
The Complete Group. There were some that showed up with the same Pajamas. I guess the PJs weren't couture :)
Chris, Toni, Jenny, Me, Julie and Sandy.

Here I am with Shawn. She's my friend from way back.... I begged her to join this group.
Sandy, is a lifer. She joined when the group was started and she was pregnant with her third son, who is now a Junior in High School. Toni Marie, my BFF, well... when people would leave the group, you would recruit another Lady to join in, who will fit in as well. I knew Toni would be perfect!!
This is Gizmo, Toni's dog. He was kind of rescued and shows his gratitude to Toni by being the most mellow, sweetest dog possible. The way he looks at her, it's like he's so in love... I swear he barely has a heartbeat he's so calm.
Toni Decorated the Tables with clear dishes, on Gold Chargers with a red leaf underneath. I painted ornaments with every one's names on them for place settings. I have a friend that's an interior designer, and she suggested I use glass plates and chargers for decorating a table. It's a great way to decorate for whatever occasion you are celebrating. I've done it for Thanksgiving with Fall leaves in between the dish and charger. But you can use any flat decoration such as hearts for valentines, birthday confetti, and so on. It looks fantastic and glass dishes are pretty cheap, either Walmart or Kmart.

Thank you again, Toni, for your great big heart, and for making such a special night for all of us. You are truly one of a kind and I'm so blessed to have you in my life!!!
