A Tale of Two Parties

We attended two parties over the past two weekends...
First was the "grown-up" party, hosted by our friends R&A in their beautiful new home. It was a formal cocktail party and they even hired a bartender! By all measures the party was a success, but you know it's a really good party when you have multiple guests needing time to sleep it off. (Brooke and I were not one of those guests)





Brooke and I hosted the second party: a baby Halloween costume party. We had six babies from our birthing class plus three more from friends. The event started at 5pm and it was still a bit warm for costumes, so Ryan only spent a total of 15 minutes in his monkey costume.





A few of us carved pumpkins. Our group was fairly international, so it was fun to initiate a few people to the Halloween tradition. Here are the results....


Nobody passed out at our party, 80% of the alcohol was left untouched, and everybody cleared out by 8:30, but I still think it was a success.
