As soon as it was here... It was gone :(

Yesterday was Christmas of sorts for me and some Girl Pals! It was soo fun to wait in expectation for the annual Christmas Open House. The Ladies at 2dD's do such a great job! I must say I think my expectation level was very high... and with no specific things to buy, I came home quite empty handed!

My girls came home with a haul though. And I KNOW they were happy with the purchases made!  Here's a few (blurry) but fun pics to share the experience with you!

This is the Invite! SOO pretty and Festive! 

 This is the tree you see when you arrive! Its so full of FUN ornaments and Sugar plum dreams! BY this point (2 minutes inside) the home was filling with lots of people and excitement!

Next stop is the kitchen which is brimming with LOTS of treats and delights for the holiday party season and the OVER EATING that takes place this time of year! Such a pretty set up!

Then on to upstairs to hunt for more treasures themed by room! (its kind blurry, people everywhere) This is the view from the landing. This is at the ten minute mark... the house is FULL of people. My guess 75 peeps at  least! 

Here's the Newbie!! My friend Rita did AWESOME! Although she didn't get what she came for she left with some really great things for her and a few friends! (And she brought me a coffee, I love her!) 

Here's a sight to see... the front porch over flowing with shoes! (And that's not even as bad as 

inside the door.) 

And as we make our way out about 45 minutes after we arrived, you can see the literal SEA of cars

 in Neighborhood. 

Sarah with her haul, and Rita with hers, we were dreaming of the spring and what this fun girl day will bring for 2011. And as we drove away, we realized, as soon as it arrived, it was gone.  Now on to the Mall! 

Happy Christmas Shopping Everyone! 

Lots of LOVE:
