the flames burnt blue & green...

the evening ran according to plan, almost scarily so. I guess no one disobeys the Fabulous Lorraine...

Betsy mulled the wine:



we had hot chocolate with whipped cream:



and chocolate sushi:



downstairs, KB & Caitlin shoot the Boss in (one of) his library:




NBBill started the bonfire:




and Birdchick Sharon fans the flames:





The Guy is pitched on the bonfire:





our most gracious host:



Bets!




and lo, the fireworks...my sober camera got mulled wine spilled on it (thanks Bill!) before the really big firebooms but here is a taste of the smaller bursts:

look here for fireworks





Merry Housekeeper's mister concocted the color-flame mix, resulting in some hypnotizing shades, while Quiche & Adam serenaded us fireside:



sparklers came out:



and then the smores (Bill forages off the ground):









this morning, breaky is a big hit:




now we are off to see MAddy's recital...
back home tomorrow, i will miss the evil Princess:

Sounds like really good fun.

Boss's library is flipping amazing. Looks like the Providence Public Library!

That looks like a remarkable party. No surprise there, really, given all those involved.
