Holiday Party

After a festive holiday party last weekend, I feel like it should be Christmas this weekend! Since it all came together rather quickly, I did not have time to agonize and over-analyze every detail. And guess what? It actually came together wonderfully! The decorations were kept simple.


My girlfriend was a superstar and helped us rent a tent (complete with heaters) for the backyard. We set-up the bar outside too.


However, the best part of the evening by far, was the chance to share an evening of laughter and fun with good friends. The fall always seem to pass us by in a blur. There are Back-to School Nights, Parents' Nights, soccer games, Country Fairs, more soccer games, and on and on. Halloween arrives as if it has been dropped on our doorstep. And from them on, it is a mad mad sprint to the end of the year. So, it was so fabulous to be able to take a moment for holiday festivities. A special thank-you goes out to our friends from grad school who drove long distances in a single evening to join the fun!
