We have accomplished mission "Housewarming Party". Huge success.

Very good turnout, although there were a few folks missing who had said they would be there or hadn't responded to invites. Those attending included: billmurray8, briangee, dcontaminant, eriker, hexagonalcarbon, idundunitagain, kalmn, ladyslaughter, lexiphanic, nicholay, sul_ponticello, twitme and typhoid. lexiphanic wins the prize for being first to arrive and one of the last to leave.

monstersocks' spinach artichoke dip was entirely devoured. The Bacon Snack Bars and Bourbon Balls were not as devoured as expected. Somehow I managed to take relatively few pictures. I have a few of the living room/dining room prior to the party, and a few of the three Mitchell girls reunited.

We got some very nice housewarming gifts too (a Magic Bullet, an emo kitten picture plus assorted liquors).

Now it's late.
