On Sunday night, I headed to Milwaukee for our friend Christmas celebration. It was sort of thrown together at the last minute this year, so we didn't really know who to expect or what kind of treats everyone was bringing. The good news is only 1 person wasn't able to make it! We had a small gift exchange where everyone brought a $10ish gift of one of our favorite things. It was such a great idea! Not only were there some great items in the mix, it made shopping for the gift a lot easier. I brought 2 pairs of Commando underwear (actually a $60 value, but I got them on sale for $5 each! woohoo! Love that brand and that price!) I got 2 bars of soap from Lush, which I love! There was some bronzer, some lip conditioner, and a Bruegger's GC in the mix too. I think we are going to make this theme annual!

Once again, I was having too much fun chatting, that I didn't get any pics during the thick of the party. This was after mostly everyone had gone and Maureen was showing us a bridesmaid dress she is wearing for Rachel's wedding. I kind of love the lighting you get from a laptop...and I LOVE Meghan's xmas decor this year.

This is my friend Meghan (and her bro, Tom).

She is obsessed with pugs, but does not have one.

As I was taking this picture, she was saying, "If I owned this pug, I would totally trim his whiskers."

...and then Tom and I told her she was cra-zy. [lovingly of course :)]
