The Annual Holiday Party 2008

Last night was the 15th annual Graydaze Christmas extravaganza. Fifteen years ago the party started small, was moved to the Dome room at Chequer's, moved to half the restaurant at Chequer's, and for the past three years, to the whole Eclipse de Luna restaurant, complete with gambling, music and hundreds of folks. Last night was another fantastic party complete with a lot of booze, great food, music, some dancing, gambling, raffle, a few spilled drinks, a bunch of slurred "I love you's," and one Marine collecting Toys for Tots.


Zack playing black jack. He came into the party at 7:00, pulled up a chair to stand on, and had to be drug away at 9:40 so Nan could take him home. He's quite good and already has his 18th birthday planned (Las Vegas, baby.) He apparently has inherited the gambling gene from his mama and daddy!

I'm sorry to the one's I don't have pictures of. I don't know how I missed you.

To everyone: Thanks for making the party a huge success and here's to a Very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year.
