Festivities with Friends

On Saturday, we celebrated the holidays with our friends.
It was so much fun to prepare our home and menu for the event!

Adam and I enjoyed hosting our first holiday party this past weekend and, from what I observed, our friends enjoyed the holiday party as well.

Countdown to Christmas: 5 days!

  6. What a festive party you put together! Everything looks great! Your tree is my kind of tree! No theme/color coordinating stuff. Just a pretty tree full of meaningful trimmings! Perfection!
