Beloved Friends

I love this group of people. The warmth, the honesty, the welcoming hearts. Sometimes you see a great group of people and yet can't get past the even greater history they share, the 'clique'. This is NOT the case with these friends. This is not that kind of group. They are soooo open with their hearts and lives.

Tonight we went to the 10th anniversary of this Christmas party. I joined via marrying Billy almost 4 years ago now. No matter how much time has passed between seeing these people within minutes it all melts away. Our sweet hosts kindly gave gifts, including Bill to those who were there the very first one with a handful of people. This party is easily about 40 people.

Here are a few pics, I'll post the rest on Facebook:

Blogger pic upload is doing some funny stuff with the pics *shrug*

I also got to hug Debra and see her for my own two eyes for a few minutes after I got off work. She got back from LA earlier this week after her surgery. Double bonus to see Brooke while I was there too!!
