Holiday Happy Hour and tons of Toys!

Whew, it's been a busy few weeks at Gazebo! Thank you so much to all our residents who came to the Holiday Happy Hour to celebrate with your neighbors before everyone gets into the hectic holiday groove! We may have finished off all the vodka, but there's still some *shots* from the party you can see below :).

We had so much fun with everybody
* spreading cheer and sipping on spirits *
 
(including this awesome concoction Dee created:)
Holiday Pomegranate Lemonade
 
Base Mix:
4 cups of Pomegranate Juice, chilled
2 bottles of club soda, chilled
1 can of Frozen Lemonade concentrate, thawed
Pomegranate arils and lemons, optional
Mix ingredients and serve with one of the following options
For the Family- Prepare base mix and top stir in 2 cups of chilled Sprite or Ginger Ale. Serve immediately.
For a Bubbly Beverage- Prepare base mix and stir in one bottle of Sparkling Wine, chilled. Serve immediately.
For a Holiday Cocktail- Prepare base mix and stir in 8-12 oz. of chilled Vodka, to taste. Serve immediately.
 
*we used vodka in some, champagne in some... and both in a couple :) (which was suprisingly delish)
 
and Here's the shots, as promised :)
 


 
 
We had a blast and collected TONS of toys to donate to kids in the "Forgotten Angels" program. The toys will be given to members of the Angel Tree program that weren't adopted:

"The Salvation Army Nashville Area Command has partnered with Daily’s Convenience Stores, LAMAR Advertising,
to bring our Holiday Angel Tree Assistance program a Forgotten Angels Shop. With over 17,000 “angels” in need
of assistance this year, not all of the “angels” will be adopted. To ensure that each special angel receives Christmas
assistance, we have developed a forgotten angels shop were we store generic toys, clothing and items. When a parent
comes to pick up their gifts and one of their children were not adopted, we send our volunteers to shop in our
Forgotten Angel Shop."

HAPPY HOLIDAYS YA'LL!!
Be safe, and we'll see everyone back home here at Gazebo soon!
