Some good friends, some cartons of Chinese food and a bottle of wine (whine, anyone?). Who could ask for anything more?

We made short work of the food and the wine (and Jean took care of the Coke), talking, talking, talking...

This little guy is no dummy. After his third sock change of the night, it was pretty clear that he just wanted to hang out with the ladies.

Dessert you ask? Of COURSE! "Just Fudge Pie," cookies made by a woman in Neel's lab (Oh my GOSH, Thank you, Katrina!) and almond cake.

I ate too much and stayed up too late, but it was just what I needed. After surrounding myself with all that love, I feel a little better prepared to face the week. Thank you, ladies, for a perfect night. xoxo.
