Yes I know it's unusual for me to be so loud I had so much fun tonight. There were times I was laughing till my sides hurt. Lets just say things got really silly towards the end of the night :rofl: It's all Alan's fault :hahaha: Thanks for hosting Craig and Lona, it was awesome Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 It was so great to see everyone! Can't wait to hear the stories about the gift exchange So in the beginning everyone was polite and no one was stealing. Then we all pressured someone to steal something (it may have been Chris) as the whole room chanted "Steal, Steal, Steal" Then I got a cute little glittery Dragon and Craig STOLE IT FROM ME!!!! :banghead: Catalina and Geno pulled a husband wife scam to swipe the gifts they wanted and got to keep them under the 2 steals and it's dead rule. I think Haemish got to spend more time getting a new gift then anyone as he kept getting his gift stolen. There was some action over some go carting tickets, and a lot of fun MINI swag to be had. It was a lot of fun and I was happy with my MINI refrigerator magnets that I wound up with. Lots of cool stuff to win Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

smoke789 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 What a fantastic evening! I was amazed by all the varieties of food that people brought! I hope everyone had a good time. I did! Thank you to everyone who came and contributed to a very successful party.
kgdblu Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Thanks Craig and Lona! Driving all that way was definitely worth it! The glitter dragon and dragon bell have been introduced to the rest of the collection and are settling nicely. It was a very fun evening!
LostDenverite Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 Sorry I couldn't make the big shindig.

The glitter dragon and dragon bell have been introduced to the rest of the collection and are settling nicely. It was a very fun evening! Grrrrr I wanted that glitter dragon :banghead: If I had been smart I would have pulled a Catalina and Geno move and stolen Mark's flask when it was stolen from me, then he would have stolen the Dragon from Craig and it would have been mine. You're lucky I'm not as mischievous as those two. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Poison Ivy Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 We had a blast! We didn’t plan to be mischievous, it just happened. I took care of Geno at my family gift exchange and got him his helicopter, so he owed me. Great time! Thank you so much Lona and Craig. I’m glad we made it, but poor Geno was in bed all day yesterday. That was the only thing we did this weekend.
wahoo_shoe Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 I'm sorry Melissa, I was wondering where you were I had my entire weekend planned around this, thinking it was Sunday :embarassed: I don't know what happened, whatsoever, it was in my phone for Sunday and I just always stuck with it. Wish I had continued reading the threads for the rest of the day, could've picked up some chips and salsa at 5 and wrapped my gift in the baby shower wrapping paper in my backseat.

TATTRAT Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Looks like it was a great time, I am sorry I missed it. Have been out of time for a month, the holidays this year were pretty much a non-event. Thanks for sharing the photos and experience! I am hoping I can make a LOT more 2013 events! flickr

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Ali, can you try it again now? I'll try tonight when I get home. It's too hard on this phone Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
