Let's Dig In!

After members and guests had a chance to mingle, a serving line formed. Before long everyone was trying out a the various dishes brought. Afterwards, the group watched as participants in the gift exchange picked out gifts.

Food, Drink and Gifts

Each participant brought a food or drink item. Those that wanted to be a part of the gift exchange brought a gift. There were a variety of items to choose while in the serving line.

House of Bears

Ricky A. Lenart's House of Bears was all lit up for the month of December. As in previous years, there were new bears and lights to see. Touring the house at night is a different journey.

Front Porch

The porch was crowded with a pile of bears. Moving bears were visible through the front window. To either side were moving bears on drums.

Dining Bears

In the Dining Room bears were all seated for big feast. Around the room were snow scenes with moving bears. The mantle was snowflake decorations.

Decorated Doorway

The doorway between the dining room and foyer was covered in lights, garlands and ornaments. I had to stop just to admire all individual items in the arrangement. It was one of the first items visible from the front door.
