Warming it Up in Little Brick-E

My friends Diane and Noah finally bought a house. It is a fabulous little place in Brookfield. They had a grown up party last night. I say "grown up" because there was lots of food in pretty serving dishes and candles were lit. That is the sign that you have graduated into real parties. However, we took AJ. Now AJ loves to party. He likes people, getting into things, and trying to eat stuff. He also is pretty felxible which makes him a good guest. Although AJ and Mike are flexible, their mother/wife is not so much flexible these days. So when AJ wanted to have dinner and I just wanted to talk to my friends, I found it hard to unwind.

But after some dinner and visiting willing babyholders, AJ konked out in the upstairs bedroom like a champ. He snuggled in his fleece jams under his blankie and we heard nary a peep from him. So I unwound by eating a million pieces of cake, cheese, shrimp, little cupcakes, noodles, crackers and stuff, veggies, deviled eggs WITH CAVIAR (I know, right?), meatballs, baby hot dogs wrapped in bacon, hummis, and some things I can't recall. I chatted with peeps I like a lot. We celebrated and laughed. If felt good.

The Risolvos, Albandias and the Randolphs were the hangers on, just like old times. After eating, drinking and good times, Noah ended the night with the most profound observation about Kanya West. (I apologize to his fans that I don't like him enough to find out how to spell his name, however.)

I was forgetful enough to miss taking any pictures at all. Bummer. You will have to imagine the soiree in your mind...

You could not have described a perfect evening better. Good folks good fun and ending the night makes for a great reminder of those dear to our hearts.
Thanks for being dear to our hearts.
And, by the way, we are super please to have helped you and Mike usher in AJ's inner party animal. I can tell it sprouted on Halloween.
