Happy Holidays!

We wanted to have a big holiday party with all our friends this year, and Steve came up with the name "Merry Drinksmas!"  Here are a ton of pics of some of our buddies who came to celebrate with us.  We had about 30 people over, and everyone had a great time.  I think everyone was ready to blow off a little holiday steam with some great food, yummy drinks and most of all, fantastic friends!
Kristen, Charline and Andy
Jenn and Nick
Justin and Troy
Lindsay, Mary, JD and Tim arrive!
CK and Me!
Matt and Christina Scholbrock -- Christina teaches 5th grade at GP.  This was their first experience at the Marsh house!
JD, Mary and Lindsay
King-a-ling-a-ding-dong
IS Sterne and me!
Jenn and CK
Julie and Troy Evans -- they're Ty and Tanner's parents...first time we got to hang out with them without the kiddos running amok!
Steve and I NEVER get pictures of just the two of us whenever we're all hanging out...so I made sure we got one taken, finally!
The Kings!
Lisa, Christina and Kristen
Steve and Terrance.  Terrance works with Steve at S-II.  We called him the Black version of Steve because he's just a big teddy bear and has a very similar personality as Steve!
This is the infamous Christmas sweater.  Kathie sewed on all the stuffed animals and jingle bells.  Steve wore it to his company Christmas party, and it made another appearance at Drinksmas!  As Mary said, "That's aggressive!"  Possibly my favorite quote from the night.
Too sexy for his shades.
Cute!
Crazy!
JD and Me!  Doesn't he kinda look like Woody Harrelson?
Mary and me!
Below are the pictures I stole from Charline's blog.  It's ok, she stole mine too!  We share!
This is the funniest picture taken all night!
Laura and CK
Justin and Tim, two super handy firefighters!
Wow...what a trio!
Zach, we're glad you rallied!!

Well, another great year of friends!

That really was so much fun... Steve's sweater was aggressive... Mary got that exactly right, but drastic times call for drastic measures! With the spirit of Christmas potentially waning, that sweater was necessary to keep our spirits high. I actually think that Steve saved Christmas by wearing it....

Oh, I have to meet Terrance...I also think Steve should have bought another set of red long johns to wear for everyone's edification.

It looks as though you kept the Christmas spirit alive...friends sharing good times, and being thankful for each other....

Drinksmas sounds like an excellent tradition! The holidays are my favorite time of year too. I love that there is finally a shot of you and Steve . . oh and about black Steve -- now you just need asian Steve and latino steve and there's a new benetton advertisement in the making!
