Dog Gone Cute Visitors!

                    
Look who showed up at the Dog Kennel Girl's luncheon! None other than... these darling little dogs!



They were standing on the table, at each one of our place settings, ready to greet us as we gathered for our annual December luncheon .



This cute little guy was just begging me to take him out and let him loose.
And who, but who, could have invited these darling little visitors?

 

It was... "Mrs. Queenie" herself...adorable Laurie! How sweet is that!
I quess she figured...everyone needs a "doggie treat" now and again. Thanks Laurie! Your the best!

 

The food was delicious...as you can see...








and the company was great!



Show and tell was inspiring as Lynda showed us her finished projects for the month...four Thimbleberries quilts. Wow! She's been busy!






Diana was so excited to share with us the block that she had finished from ...."A Day of Quilting".



Isn't it stunning!



Then before you know it, we were all feeling pretty good, not having stuffed ourselves, when out came the waiter with a wonderful treat...compliments of the chef...hot chocolate chip macadamian cookies that were to die for! Right then and there, Lynda (our president) decided we needed to make him an honorary member.



I think that's when Jann and I got a little silly, snapping pictures of each other taking pictures.

 

And then Lynda decided it would be fun to get in on it by taking pictures of us looking at the pictures we took!



LOL! We had way to much fun! Then it was time to go....and believe me.... no one was in a hurry to leave! But before we did, there had to be one more picture of the group together.



Here we are...wishing all of you the...
 Happiest of Holidays!

Perfect ornament for your group. It looks like you had such a wonderful Christmas party. Aren't our Quilting Friendship groups the best?

You were up late blogging, my friend. What a cute post though with the doggie ornaments and the Show n'Tell and the other pictures. What a great time you had. I can see I'm missing out on all of the fun you're having.

Thanks RaeAnn. I'm ready to go back and eat. Wonder if the chef will serve the cookies to Dennis' firm party later this month. We'll see who his favorites are.

Looks like a blast was had by all! I'm so glad you got a little break at this really busy time of year. There's nothing in the world like good girlfriends. Kind of makes you feel sorry for guys, doesn't it?! Hugs
