• The Redpath Christmas Party

  Our 2010 Christmas & White Elephant Gift Exchange party must go down as a success.  Two double batches of chili filled out Crock-Pots.  The very spicy lamb and lentil chili went fast.  I purchased a four foot party sub to anchor the meal.  With over 25 guests, the wine and food was a great match.

  
  Judy decorated the banister.

  
  Saint Étienne adds energy to the scene.

  
  Here is the family

  
  The 3-liter St. Supéry Élu, 2000 Meritage, anchored the beverage side of the party.  15 adult drinkers polished it off with ease.

  Popular gifts included,
  
  Japanese figurine,
  Reindeer antlers and toy deer that actually poop! 
  Swimming Pool that Étie wants dad to fill TODAY!
  The beanie cap

  
  The most popular gift, Penguin Cookie Jar, left the party full of cookies!

  
  We lucked out with this hand blown three-inch vase.

  
  Our Ethiopian guest was blessed with a ceramic bird.

  
  Good times were had by all.

  
  Here is my promised update to the red candles displayed in the upstairs windows.
