Usually this time of year the Bunco Babes get together and do a cookie exchange. This year all of us were too pooped to make 72 cookies for the event so we opted to do an ornament exchange and treat ourselves to a nice dinner at Merchant and Main. We closed the place down and had to keep it to a dull roar. It's a small town! 12 women at one table! It wasn't easy!
The Pereiras and Gouveias had Christmas celebrations together for the last 10+ years. A tradition that we all cherish. All of us after the tree is decorated.
