christmas brunch

amid cookie baking and parties, 

the annual trip to see the nutcracker ballet, 

the event muffy and i are most looking forward to 

this weekend is the 

christmas "santa" brunch at lake pearl.

we'e going with two of our very good friends 

so it should be a real festive, lady-like affair! 

(then we'll all go to see the nutcracker together)

lake pearl is actually a beautiful club set on, 

you guessed it, lake pearl, near our home.

the facilities are gorgeous and the food is amazing.

mr prep and i just attended a christmas party 

there last friday night, 

and we help muffy's post-baptism party there years ago.

the forecast calls for snow...a dusting would be nice to amp up 

the festivities, but not a blizzard. 

last year it snowed 14 inches the day of 

the nutcracker performance, 

mr prep was out of town and i was left to shovel!
