a FABulous evening downtown

Wow. What a fantastic dinner party! My ol' friend Lizzie threw a dinner party at her place last night to celebrate her 25th birthday. She's had a lot to celebrate lately and it certainly showed in last night's festivities. Dips, dumplings, chicken and biscuits greeted guests as well as her always welcoming grin. I was really impressed with the way she handled all of her guests and made sure all the food was prepared perfectly. I certainly would've been a frazzled mess, smoke detector buzzing, food in flames and my guests finding the nearest Olive Garden. When did we become big kids? So, thank you Lizzie for a fabulous night! I got a chance to meet some new faces and see a few familiar ones, too. You pulled it off and were fantastic! Happy happy!



Tanner and Jenny enjoy some of the delicious appetizers Lizzie prepared. Sweet potato dumplings! MMM.



Lizzie's guests milling around to awesome jazz or calypso or whatever that awesome music was.



Lizzie, Tanner and Jenny being fab with a glass of champagne.



Lizzie and her mom, who was looking great! and Lizzie's new boyfriend, Andrick.



Why is it everyone always hangs out in the kitchen at parties? Jenny's mom looks a bit suspicious, what's she up to? :)



Time to open presents!



Jane has the champagne pass down pat.



Roomates Lizzie and Van Horn look a tad surprised - did you not see me coming? :)

Thanks again Liz!

Up next -- Haunted Forest with Charlie!
