{magic of the season}: black tie white christmas evening party



And the night shall be filled with music,


And the cares that infest the day


Shall fold their tents like the Arabs


And as silently steal away.


~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


i think i'm a pretty luck girl, to have such great friends who like to dress up and bring hors d'oeuvres and play fancy for an evening.
this is the fourth year we've held this evening party, can you believe it!

every year new friends come and old friends come and everyone gets to meet each other and laugh and remember what good friends we have.

this year we even had a slow dance, courtesy of meredith and alex!

i'm so grateful for all these people who make my life merry & bright.
