A Roaring Good Time

Nice James, you have your machine gun pointed at your daughters head!  Blake, James, and Cheryl Hartung  Cheryl and Blake had the fabulous idea of carrying candy trays!  All night they delivered gum and chocolate to everyone.

Tony a soon to be Hartung and Heidi, Michelle and BeJoe Hartung
Mom and Dad

Aunt Tara, Aunt Rosemarie Hartung and myself.


Sister in Law Vanessa and brother Ryan.  Ryan surprised his wife by renting this fabulous red suit.  Up until 10 minutes before we left for the party Vanessa didn't know what Ryan was going to wear as he had told her he didn't go and rent a suit as they had discussed.  We were all very impressed with Ryan's effort!  However he did try and convince me to give Vanessa my red dress as her black dress is the exact same dress as my red one but I convinced him that her black dress would look a lot better with his red pin striped suit than my red dress!
Jen and Neil, you have to love a man that is willing to wear a yellow suit!
My cousin Heidi Hartung, and myself. 
  • Kathy & Don Hartung and Julie and Dan Hartung (the Hartung Twins) I'm told they didn't plan their complimenting suit, tie and hat choices.  


Last weekend was the Hartung Brothers, Inc. 34th annual holiday party.  Growing up a Hartung I can tell you that the Hartungs know how to have a good party.  I'd like to say I've been to every Hartung Holiday party as the company started the year I was born but some how I bet there were a few years in there I wasn't allowed to attend.  This year Hartung Brothers, Inc. is celebrating its 34th year and they threw one was especially fun party as it had a roaring 20's theme and dressing up as a flapper is just down right fun.  Many of the ladies were totally into it along with many of the guys.  I was very impressed by my twin uncles Don and Dan they actually managed to wear suits with opposite accents.  As if dressing up as a flapper isn't fun enough they also had a casino night which was quite fun despite the fact that it apparently was the slowest game of craps ever known to man.  I apparently didn't pick up on that but it could have been due to the fact that I had a few Brandy Old Fashioned Sweets.  I've totally turned into my mother.  Which isn't really all that bad.  I really wanted to win at craps as I wanted to win Ben a tractor that didn't happen but I did get to keep one of the center pieces which was a giant martini glass full of flowers.  I hope to use the giant martini glass as a festive M&M dish.  This was such a great party with so many great costumes!
