The 4th Annual Christmas Party

Every year since we were wee little freshman living in the dorms, my friend Jordan and I have thrown a Classy Christmas Soiree. It's my absolute favorite tradition. 

{you can read about last year's party here. }

I mean, it's the perfect opportunity to mingle with good friends and to get all dressed up (which is always a plus in my book haha). 

AND it launches you right into the Christmas spirit -- even JP can't maintain his scrooge-ness after a party like this :)

We cook a full blown meal for the guests (hold the applause, please, I think it's a miracle we are even somewhat prepared when people start arriving haha) and do a white elephant gift exchange, which never fails to disappoint. 

There are probably way too many pictures, for which I apologize. But considering how many hours the setting up/decorating/Costco runs/cooking took, I wanted it all to be documented haha 

Thanks for bearing with me :)

 he was so pleased with his outfit haha i loved it.
