Christmas Dinner Party

This year since Todd became a manager he wanted to have his peeps over for a Christmas Dinner. It turned out really nice. We hired Papa to bar-tend and Lulu came over to help me get things ready. I spent SOOOO much time preparing for the dinner.

And the end of the night we had a TON of dishes to wash. I was missing having Mimi and Gippa around. Normally they are the dish ladies whenever we have a party.
