Two of the faces in the last shot are those of men. Can you pick them out?
The Christmas Eve open house is a long time neighborhood tradition that revolves around cookies, Kahlua, and games. Here's what I wrote about it in a past post:
"My close friends know that if I attend a potluck, I’m more likely to bring a bag of corn chips than a homemade casserole or a pie. But I make it up to them with my yearly Christmas Eve Open House. With one fell swoop and a platter full of cookies, I get my hosting out of the way for the year." http://www.looseleafnotes.com/notes/2006/02/my_place_or_yours.html
It was actually a smaller crowd than normal. I like the fact that Jayn and I are tied together with a big gold bow in photo number 2.

Looks like a great time was had. And...I love that barn. I like to photograph it and have a couple of keepers...after seeing it in the moonlight, I may have to try one of those! Hi to all...

LOVE that Blue Ridge photo with the moon! So "wintery" looking.
Very clever head photos...lol
That Yankee Swap looked like fun and so many nice friends to share the time with.

We visited your site several times over the holiday to play his songs for others.

Hi. You're up! Up on My Hats Blog, that is. Tell all your friends.
Looks like you had a great Christmas. We ogled that amazing full moon, too. Next month, I'm going to a nearby lake for pictures. I hope we get the same thing again. My camera is in the hospital right now. Tsk.
