Dinner Party

I love to dress up. It makes me feel all special and glamorous. So I was super excited when my dear friend invited us to a fantastic, fancy Christmas party. Ok, so it may have turned fancy due to some intermingling and pressure from the outside but I love how it turned out. She is an excellent party girl and it couldn't have been any better of a party. It was fabulous.

I was a little worried because I was only out of surgery 10 days when we had to be there but I wasn't going to miss this special night with our friends. We had to bring a nice gift for a couples' gift exchange. So Chal and I brought the nicest gift we could think of...a framed, autographed photo of us. It was perfect. We knew the recipient of that gift would forever cherish that little gem. Luckily, it was the host that managed to claim that sweet prize.

Even now, I am still laughing about that. Thanks dear friends for such a super and wonderful night. I really feel like you are family and that you enrich my life to levels I can't explain!

Chal and I decided to go with a 20's theme. The party wasn't themed that way but we felt the desire and ran with it. Chal wore his grandpa's old tuxedo and I made the skirt which was fun. And then my mother in law thought of adding the head piece, which was perfect! I love dates with my husband.
