Second Annual Bailey's Barkin' BBQ

Earlier this month, we hosted the second annual Bailey's Barkin' BBQ. (And yes, our dog, Bailey, is the hostess of all of our parties.) As usual, we had a great time hanging out with all of our friends. We're so glad everyone could come!

Jessica, Cara, Jan, Dan, Holly and Champ hanging out at the party.

Fratastic! Here are Garth's fraternity brothers - Shane, Ben, Blair and James.
Carlos, Garth, Kyle and Jason hang out on the deck (I think the three on the right planned to match their outfits, don't you?!?)

Our hostess, Bailey, was very worn out from all of the preparations. It's hard work being a social butterfly!

Last, but not least, here's Garth and me. Garth is pictured in his favorite chair. I swear, everytime we have people over, all the guys have to marvel at the chair's greatness. I, however, would like to sell it to the highest bidder! ;)

Thanks again to all who came - we had fun hanging out with all of you!

Bailey's Christmas Extravaganza

This year, we decided to have a Christmas party at our house. In keeping with our theme of parties this year, we had another "Bailey party". This one was aptly called "Bailey's Christmas Extravanganza".

Here's the invite for the party

Bailey was thrilled to have people come over to the house. But after a while, her bone was far more interesting.

Thanks to everyone who came - we had a great time and hope you did too!
