2008 Christmas Party Roundup: $561 for Children’s

 The Everything Good About Christmas Cake

The 2008 Carlberg Christmas Party is now history.  We had 62 people, a ton of food and drink, and a great time.

On top of that we raised $561 for Children’s Memorial Hospital.  

Awesome!

And we ended up with two AWESOME holiday cakes, 14 GREAT bottles of wine, a new toy truck for The Critter and too many other tasty leftovers and gifts to mention.

I am always amazed and humbled the generosity of the people in our lives.  You’re a good crew.  Thanks to everyone who joined us last night . 

Thanks to the Lovely J who let me sleep in this morning while she continued to the clean up process.

And thanks also to The Sitter and her husband who brought some great snacks and did a fantastic job keeping everything full of food and people full of drink.

And finally thanks Chef K. who came up with the add-sausage-to-the-stuffing idea.  Tasty!

Happy Holidays to all — hope this season is great for you and yours.
