These are the two ladies that ride with me to the Scarlet events as they don't drive in the No. VA area.

Next is our PJ Breakfast at IHop yesterday. We had a lot of fun. Naturally, we attracted a lot of attention, but then we always do for our hats, but this time it was for our complete attire. LOL!

Mad Hatter Tea

I attended the ARC Mad Hatter Tea again this year along with 2 others from my RHSS group and 2 from my RHSM group. It was very nice and had a larger turnout than last year, so that was good to see. I won the Silly Hat Contest along with a cute little girl and I also won a door prize, so I was having a good day!

All the delicious goodies to eat!

Everyone got to choose their own tea cup!

It was a tie, this is the little girl that also won. Isn't she adorable!

Scarlet Sophisticates Christmas Soiree

Saturday was The Scarlet Sopisticate's Annual Christmas Soiree and we had a blast. This year we had some red hat vendors as well as a few others and I even set up a table with some stocking stuffer-type items to sell. Of course, I forgot to take a picture of my table. We even had a band play this year and they were great!

We had two hat vendors:

Here are the jewelry, Miche bag and Avon vendors:

Here are a few shots from the party itself:

We had a few of us that were brave enough to get up and dance. I even got up a couple of times, but can't dance as much as I would like to as my knees were bothering me a lot.

I even got a friend to take a picture of me in my Christmas Red Hat finery. Ankles are a little swollen (think I danced more than I should have - LOL!) Since December is my birthday month I get to wear red with a purple hat. I love it!
