The atmosphere in the outside garden is so lovely and eclectic. We sat by a wood burning stove and a fountain!
Here is Shannon's mom, Shelley. She was so fun!

Shannon had some friends from high school there. Lindsey wrote this sweet message on her present:

Sweet Denise! I think she is the most photogenic person I know. Lovely!

After the party, Hollie, Shannon, and I came home with our friend Rachel and had an inpromptu photoshoot!!!
I'm not sure about this one, but I think it should be our apartment Christmas card.
What do you think?

Hollie, the business woman:

Rachel, the diva

Whoops! Back to the party, Shann got some AMAZING presents, like bird plates, owl salt and pepper shakers, and love slug art from Ann Francis.

And Blythe gave her a boot pencil holder. Clearly, Shannon loves it.

Shan, your party was fabulous and I am so glad we are friends and roommates!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, folks!
