For those of you who read my blog, you probably already know I had a housewarming party because you probably attended. But, I wanted to write a blog about it anyway...
It was such a delightful day. We sent out 27 invitations, equalling, easily, over 40 people. Nearly no one RSVPed. I expected that some people wouldn't RSVP, as many of the people I know are not very good about doing that, but I figured more than 2 (out of those 27 invitations) would. Oh, well, we still planned for a full house, and it was a good thing we did. We had a fantastic turn out and it was really fun. Many of Cliff's relatives, who were in town for Thanksgiving, attended, and lot of my friends and family came. I was pleased to see Jon and Dave there since I haven't seen them in a while. I was disappointed to not see some people who I had hoped would come, but as they didn't RSVP, I guess I shouldn't have necessarily expected them.
It was just a really warm and delightful day (not warm as in temperature - warm as in "warm and fuzzy"). I enjoyed making the rounds to talk to everyone and then leaving them to mingle with others, and Pumpkin was ever in the mix meeting and greeting his adoring fans. I had been worried about Shaggy stealing food, so he had to spend the day outside. However, I needed have worried about him being lonely, as the kids busied themselves with him the entire time...including following him through the garage doggie door. So, it seemed that everyone had a good time.
Thank you to everyone who attended, and for those who didn't, I hope we can find a time to have you over in the near future!

It was a very nice open house. The grandkids has tons of fun with Shaggy and also with the chocolate thingy.
It was a wonderful afternoon. Great to see so many friends and family and I love your new home. You both have taken a house and turned it into a home. I still can't get over the kitchen and I love the bathroom. You truly had a great vision for both those rooms.
