Post Season Party

Tap season over, Hats & Taps has a final party to enjoy the Christmas spirit and catch up with each other in fun fashion.  We each bring goodies to eat and have a white elephant gift exchange. Already full of Holiday Happiness, these gals just don't quit. They continue to give of themselves and share the joy of the season.

Marie hosted this year and requested the gals to bring a favorite costume for pictures.  Eric captured the group here with a wonderful shot!  Rhoda was not up for picture taking this day and Linda 2 could not make it but we celebrated for all.

But first, .... Getting ready for lunch-ing.

A tasty feast with more munchies than we can manage.

Carol presents Marie with a "Best in Show" costume award. 

Seems Hats & Taps got several compliments on their blue cape costume.

Mary draws first and really likes her Santa...

garbage bag and all.

Oh no, Connie, our Constance Christmas clepto, steels Santa.

Mary scores a cool hat and scarf for her second pic.

Liz and Lois watch the fighting and take notes.

Rhoda likes her dishes and....

threatens to beat off any attempts at stealing with her spatula.

 Carolyn cradles her tres chic catch.

Lois chooses....

and comes up with earrings that look like a match to her wonderful necklace.

  Carolyn and Linda look on.

Linda 1 gets 2 wine glasses, immediately sharing one with good friend Carolyn, then unwraps more wine related gifties.

Liz shows off her earrings and necklace made of potatoes from Alaska.

Liz, Marie and Lois pose for a pic.

Marie shows off her scarf with sparkly pin and Christmas mug too.

Mary poses with Carol.

Carol tries on her matching earrings and necklace that must have been made for her sweater. 

Marie is clueless to the rules of this game but Linda 1 explains Mary gets one more chance.  She steals back her Santa and Connie gets the cool cap with scarf. 

Both end up happy with the exchange. 

One last gift for Carol from the whole group. Lois can't help herself helping.

A good laugh and great fun.

Carol holds her gift of a picture of all ten Hats & Taps with Ruthie.

We had a wonderful time.  Happy Holidays and cheers to a Happy New Year to all!  We will rest up and come back after the holidays raring to go with new numbers, reprisals we adore and happy hearts waiting to share some more.
