A nice read after (or before) you chug that bottle of limoncello. Now that I know what alcohol really does to my body as I am drinking it (denial denial before) I will surely be drinking fruit juice inbetween cocktails (we will see) and keep a bottle of Pedialyte in the fridge for the next day.

Our open house on Sunday was a success. The party started at 11:30 and our first guests, the Stewart-Gasts are officially the co-hosts of our party. They arrived promptly at 11:30 and no other guests arrived until about 2:15! It was nice relaxing and drinking with them by the christmas tree while the kids ran around wild. When the rest of the guests finally arrived, they ALL arrived! Mark did a time lapse video of the party and it is pretty funny. I especially like the parts where you only see one kid in the kitchen reaching into the cookie and candy tray. Lastly the evite poll results are in. If you didn’t get to sign or even see the poll, go ahead and leave your answer in the comments. And keep checking back for the video.
