First off, I have to say that the dinner party went much better than anticipated though the supply of alcohol for the adults was rather depleted. The bartender that we hired for the evening was not very happy about that... then again, neither was I.
The place looked absolutely beautiful at the beginning of the night. There were ice sculptures of all the houses that were lit up from underneath. Aurora and Ariel worked on those for a week. They even went out to buy new tables so that they would light up properly.
Jezebelle, Jasmine, Sarah and Melanie picked wildflowers to make bouquets which they placed on all the tables... all over the house. It wouldn't have been so bad if the bouquets weren't so large but half the tables have disappeared under them.
There were a lot of chocolates as Esmerelda is still on the chocolatier course. Chocolate flowers, chocolate covered fruits, chocolate placeholders, there was even a chocolate fountain. Now, the chocolate fountain was very interesting and there were more than a few people trying to drink straight from the chocolate fountain but we managed to keep it people free, for the most part.
Of course we also had the normal, every year things such as the fireworks, live music, a lot of food and everyone from the area that could show up.
There was a bit of awkwardness around some of the people though, I'm not 100% sure what was the reason for all of the awkwardness. Well, I know why it was awkward with a few of the people, but that is best left unsaid.
Anyway, I had best be going as at my last check up the doctor told me that I will need as much rest and relaxation as possible. With this household, in this neighborhood, that may be a bit of a problem.
