Last night was lit. This morning, my eyes are somehow but I’m thankful I have a lot to be thankful for. For family and friends, for health, for God, for my children, for food.
I had a few friends round last night – damn, so much love and laughter. Sooooooooooo much.
The menu was pretty much as advertised. A few things added, some forgotten, others removed…

Drinks
We ate, laughed and did the rounds on the table – about things we were thankful for. That was one of the most beautiful parts of the day. Another? Cooking. Another still? Enjoying the delightful drinks our mixologist made. Still more? The gorgeous ‘Polaroid’ camera my friend brought and used. Sooooooooo awesome.
