KnitGrrlz Belated Xmas

We have a few jet-setters in our group, so we celebrated Christmas a bit late this year. Sunday was such a fun-filled day with my KnitGrrlz aka Bad Girls Club! Even Carla was in town to help us celebrate! Thanks to Valecia for coming over too. It was quite festive!

Larry was such a doll to put up with all of us!

We started out with our traditional bagels, lox, whitefish salad, fruit salad (thanks for bringing the fruit, Brit), blanched asparagus and crudités, along with coffee and mimosa. 

L-R: Natalie, Mary Jo, Darcy, Ellen, Carla, Valecia, Brit, Alyson

Darcy brought some divine pasteles de natas from this little Portuguese bakery, Natas in the Valley and Alyson made the MOST delicious Grand Marnier cake for Natalie's birthday! 

The main event is always the gift exchange! Oh my! Everyone goes kinda' nuts when it comes to presents!

We each received a little bed for our kitchen sponges (among other gifties). Larry has decided that it makes a nice perch for Ringo while he's telling his troubles to Dr. Edna. Ringo's biggest problem is that his drum kit is missing!

Of course, we had to take the obligatory group photo. This year I crocheted crowns for all of my princesses!
