Xmas Party - Dec 2010

Enjoying the Feast

This was our fifth year hosting the Christmas Party in Raleigh.  We had our usual attendees (John/JoAnna, Keith/Kate, Kim/Jonathan, Phil/Joyce, Steve/Amy, Julie/Blake, Teresa/Brandon, Stephanie/Jason) and special guests - the Snarrs who drove up from Charlotte and spend the night with us with their kids.

For dinner, we served fried turkey, stuffed pork tenderloin, potato gratin, chipotle mac-n-cheese and green beans.  As usual, there was more food than necessary!

After filling our tummies, we did the gift exchange -- this year the theme seemed to be snuggies and shake weights!

Supper Club - May 2010

Phil's Race Car

Phil and Joyce hosted this supper club as an event to see Phil race.  We went to the Virginia Motor Speedway where we all brought food for a picnic.  There was a car show going on so we got to see some old race cars.  Phil came out third in the race -- it was exciting to watch.
