autumn wine & dine {girls only}.

at what point is something considered annual? it feels a little premature, but i guess this was my second annual autumn girls wine party on the thursday before thanksgiving. i feel like its a good date to host a holiday party... the holiday craziness hasn't totally started, but you're ready to kick off the seasons festivities. and festive it was! we had lots of wine and plenty of food - stuffed mushrooms, margarita pizza squares, deviled eggs, chicken salad finger sandwiches, spinach artichoke dips, homemade chex mix, antipasti skewers, of course cheese, meats & cracks plus desserts (thank you to all the girls who baked)! that all, of course, is just background for all the conversation and laughs you get when 20 girls are together. 

my camera never came out and sadly not everyone was captured, but a big thanks to ang & steph for their awesome photos. cheers to all you girls who came by! and to those who couldn't make it - see you next year!
