Sneak peek

Friday, December 11, 2009
Updated: Many of you asked about my dress. I got it at a local boutique called French Cuff. They have a website and they did have a few more of that dress in different sizes when I bought mine last week. The brand is Virginia Taylor. I LOVED the dress. It was so cute and comfortable and I received tons of compliments on it.

Even Scout got gussied up for the holidays (she is actually having a doggie sleepover with her friends at the dog spa).

I think we are all set! I will post more photos of the party and our Chrsitmas decorations in a few days. Tomorrow is Harry's birthday party so there is no rest for the weary. Have a great weekend everyone!

    Oh my goodness, Kim! PICTURE PERFECT! I cannot wait to hear all about the party and what Miss Kate Emerson is wearing! :) I am sure it will be wonderful. I am so excited for you. Tonight I get to go to my hubs' holiday party at Princeton -- it isn't a dress up party but I am sure it will be fun. xoxo

    it's strange : are petits fours chocolates ? Because "petits fours" here in France are some appetizers
