The Fisher Family!: Girlfriends!

I host a Girls' Christmas Party for some friends every year. It's a great excuse to get together to 'catch up', have some cocktails and to play a little gift giving game. I don't get too much girl time as of late so I really cherish the time that I DO get. It was so nice that everyone was willing to drive out to my house because I'm not sure I would've had the energy to make it out anywhere else.

Since I was still recovering from surgery and have very little free time my friends all stepped up to help out. Everyone brought some sort of food item or beverage to share. Usually I provide everything but knew that would be next to impossible this year. I am VERY blessed with this group of girlfriends.

Another big help was that my friend Josie (lives in Colorado) flew in Saturday morning to stay with us. She brought her 3 month old, Brady, with but seemed to have endless energy to both take care of him and to help us out around the house. Josie vacuumed the basement, helped set everything up for the party, baked brownies and took care of odds and ends around the house. She was a lifesaver!

I dont' get to see Josie too often, but when we do get together it's like no time has passed. Having a friend who you instantly feel a connection with and can relax and be yourself around is such a blessing. It's too bad she lives several states away :(

Here are some pictures from this past weekend!
