A gathering of friends...

I have a group of friends from Longaberger - our SGS group.
We spent a lot of time together in our Longaberger days - at conventions, in the office, traveling, dealing with life's adventures together.
One by one, many of us have moved on to other jobs and places, but we manage to keep in touch and get together occasionally.
Back then, I was one of the few that had kids...now there are babies everywhere!

When I found out one of our own was moving...to North Carolina, it was time for us to get together, catch up, and send her off in style.

Alison (ALEEEESON), Kim, and Jen (JC) were able to come and bring their kids for an evening of fun.


Not everyone warmed up at first. Alison's son Jake just wasn't sure about hanging out with this strange group of people.
Ian tried to warm him up by getting out the Game Cube, but so far, nothing was working!

In the meantime, Alison's other cutie was warming up the rest of us with his smiles!

We were trying not to think of Alison leaving us!

And Kim's little guy kept us entertained as well!
