Valerie Foster Hoffman’s Christmas Party is the most extraordinary event, with thoughtful valet parking, Santa greeting all the guests, yummy nibbles and libations passed around, and then the feast of a century. I wish the photos I took could even begin to do it justice!
Santa had his photo taken with everyone thanks to Karl Owens, master photographer.
The nibbles began even before crossing the threshold!
I always love spending time with awesome Brenda Cooper, Emmy Award winner for her styling of “The Nanny.” I spied her on a comfy sofa and plunked myself down for the evening, delighted to be joined by another awesome friend, the Amazing Terri Childs. What a time we three had! (You can tell my twelve-year-old self came out to play!
WOW Valerie!
Valerie remembered that I gave her this Nutcracker last year! Fantastic party, fabulous hostess, delightful friends…a true Merry Merry!
Sandie Girl came over to work on her Christmas cards…but not before passing the Doodle toll gate!
