As some of you already know from my conversations with you at the impromtu GTGs, DH and I would love to host a party at our home in December (weekends in Nov are pretty much all booked) for the 06 brides and your husbands.

As a warning, we have a little yorkie (for anyone allergic), who is no more than 5 pounds. We will have her on a leash, so for those of you who are not fans of dogs don't have to worry about her.

Also, for those of you with young babies, we have two guest rooms with plenty of space/beds, etc if any babies need to have a nap, be changed, get nursed/fed, etc. This way you can have privacy if you want it.

For the husbands, there is a large screen TV for them to watch whatever game they want, along with some game systems.

Oh, and we live in God's country, according to Leslie! It's Port Jeff.

ETA: I'll start a new thread for just a poll on a GTG after seeing what all of you are saying! Looks like majority voted for Saturday, December 29, 2007

we'll be there betsy! what can we bring? i'm not so good at cooking, but i can pick something up or bake something

Thanks for letting me know, Carol.

As for food - how about an appetizer or an entree - you could pick something up frozen and we could cook it here, or at least reheat it.

WOW!!!! I missed so much!!! I still have no idea what I'm making, or if I'm getting something premade. (I can pretend I don't hear DS crying if I try to cook.) But it sounds like you want appetizer or entree? I can do this!

It would be appreciated. I'm making a large platter of ziti, but it can't be the only entree - the men would be unhappy!

Oh and Leslie - I'm buying your fav on Friday - Pigs in a Blanket!

I know you have your hands full, Kelly - you could always just bring a salad to feed everyone!

Well, you can have 19, Leslie can have 19, and the other two can be shared by the other people there!

There a WIDE screen TV in the family room, so he can watch in HD on Fox when it's on!!!!

We can even do picture in picture if he wants to watch something else at the same time!

Bob would have to set that up, though!
