While I was reading your post, I realized that they were playing French music over the sound system; how appropriate! You looks so cute! What shoes are you wearing? Your party looks like it was a lot of fun, and the sweet confections look so tempting. You keep hanging out with these guys and you WILL end up going to France. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-french-language-class-holiday-party#post-1404876 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 18:56:34 +0000 Angie 1404876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are stunning in #1, Vicki.
