Project 365 - 3rd Annual Progressive PJ Party!!!


SERIOUSLY... this annual party has become one of our favorite events of the ENTIRE YEAR!  Jeff and I were SOOOOOO LUCKY to join an amazing group of volunteers at the high school when we moved here 8 years ago... and even MORE LUCKY that we now call them all friends!  The tradition includes the following... 1st stop, appetizers (and drinks)... 2nd stop, salad (and drinks)... 3rd stop, main course (and, well of course, more drinks)... and the final stop, desserts and BUNCO!  Oh, and more drinks...
 
STOP 1 - Appetizers at the Seltmann's... we can't wait to get the party started!!!
Last year, we ladies decided that we wanted to be comfortable for this annual assault on our waistlines and livers and wanted to wear pajamas.  The men thought we were crazy, and although they protested, they dressed in their finest sweat pants and checkered flannels... and they LOVED it by the end of the night.  So, of course, we gals went shopping for new pajamas this year and the guys didn't say a word as they donned their night clothes.

STOP #2 - Marion's house for THREE different AMAZING salads... yep, we are getting a bit giddy...

First photo of the boys... looking GOOD, especially you, Mr. Early, in your sexy silky ensemble...
As we have done in year's past, we took photos of the gals at each stop... to provide a photographic journey of our "Ice Cube Club."  We also have a few photos of the guys... enjoy the ride!

STOP #3 - Prime Rib, Ham, and potato casserole at the Early house... who knew that a full moon would be rising within the hour...

LAST STOP... An ENTIRE DESSERT BAR and a hysterical game of Bunco at the Jimenez home.  Yes, even the guys were totally into the game... and NOBODY in the house stopped laughing for 2 hours while we madly threw our dice and tallied our scores!  This photo is the culmination of 7 hours of eating and drinking and being merry with our friends, and we are already counting the days until the 2011 event!!!
... and our cute boys... and Barnett's bell...
