Dinner and a Dance Party

Good times in Vermont!

Last night, the group enjoyed another 17-person dinner.

And, boy, was it a feast!!! We had some kick-ass chefs in our company!

Before dinner, we enjoyed appetizers.

Drinks.

And blogging. What did you think of Mal’s post last night?

Murphy loved all of the extra attention that he received this weekend. He was quite popular among the ladies.

Pug paparazzi.

Pugs & kisses!

Murphy really liked Melissa. Check out this pug kiss!

Dinner was absolutely amazing– easily one of the best homecooked meals I’ve ever enjoyed. I loved everything on my plate and even went back for seconds of a few things.

On the menu: Beef Bourguignon, Vegetarian Cassoulet, mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, homemade salad with cherry tomatoes and tarragon, and the most amazing brussels spouts I have ever eaten. I’m on a mission to recreate them at home this week! Stay tuned!

After dinner, a dance party ensued.

Murphy got down with Theodora!

My night concluded with eating cake, sipping champagne, and drunk tweeting by the fireplace. Then, I passed out early like the grandma that I am. (I’m so lame sometimes.)

Thank you, Ashley and Bo, for inviting us for the weekend. Mal and I (and Murphy) had such a wonderful time! We miss everyone already!
