TIHAA Christmas Party - December 4, 2015

TIHAA Christmas Party - December 4, 2015

by Della DuHart

Della and Gary kept the raffle going throughout the evening.

The TIHAA Christmas Party was held again at the Crowne Plaza Suites on the Southwest Freeway near Sugar Land, with a total of 60 members and guests, dressed in their finest attire and ready to party.

Upon arriving, photos were taken in front of the lovely Christmas tree by Lawson Cook. You will see them in the next few pages.

Attendees were then greeted at the sign-in table by Dorothy Wanza, who had a smile on her face that let you know that it was going to be an evening to enjoy. And of course, just around the corner was a cash bar opened to those who desired to have something stronger than tea or coffee.

As we entered the party room, D.J. Rock started the music and we knew then it was time to get our grove on. The room was nicely decorated with fancy tables, lots of gifts, good food and most of all, people who LOVE to socialize together.

We were graced by the blessing of the food by Thomas Johnson. After getting full of a tasty dinner and some of us unable to move right, we sat and talked for a while.

Then it was time for Santa's helpers, Della DuHart and Gary Luckett to hand out gifts from that lucky bowl, if your name was pulled.

Before the night was over, some of our more athletic attendees took to the dance floor for a little line dancing to the music.

Guests enjoyed a meal of a salad, Rosemary Grilled Chicken with Champagne Sauce, as well as side dishes of Rosemary Potatoes, Rice Pilaf, Steamed Vegetables, rolls and a choice of delicious desserts.

I would like to thank everyone who attend from Annie's Cottage, teaching us the latest line dance steps. We really had fun. I know Nora Morales and neighbor Dora Morales enjoyed learning the steps.

And a special thanks to every one who attended this years gala.
