FUN NIGHT WITH FRIENDS...

Sorry about the delay...but my camera was not working - and then I left it at Vicki's. Picked it up yesterday and can now show you our exchange gifts.
 First - what a great time we had. Vicki's house is ..I don't know how to describe it...It sparkled from the moment you parked the car - the whole outside was lit up with tea lights in jars - along the sidewalk, hanging from the trees...made you wonder how the inside could be more magical - it was !

Vicki's hubby sent me lots of pictures (since my camera was not behaving) and I will post them later on my PT - but for now...here is a couple teasers of Vicki's Christmas house - this is just a "drop in the hat" !!
