Holiday Dinner.

Last night was the Third Annual Trump Girl Holiday Dinner. This dinner is always a logistical nightmare (trying to find both a date that works for six schedules and a place that has reservations during the holidays) but always so so worth it. No matter what else is going on during what is always a super busy time of the year, this is the one event that no one has ever bailed on.

Our first year, we celebrated at Bistro 110. The next year, we moved across the square to RL. This year, I think we found our holiday home for years to come at NoMi. LS is an "ambassador" for NoMi. As a result, she was able to get us a table with the most fantastic view of Michigan Avenue. When we arrived, there were gifts awaiting us, including a gift certificate to the Spa, hand and hair oil and a bottle of bubbly to toast the holidays. We fancy, huh?

This year's dinner was just fantastic. As we sat down, I put the holiday poppers around the table. They are my annual contribution to the table -- I just love the little extra dose of fun they add. Our server took one look at the festive, gift-filled table and us and said "this is going to be a fun table, I can tell." Obviously. The view was incredible. The food was delicious. And, the girls are awesome.

Everyone is soon to be off for their Christmas travels but I always feel like Christmas officially starts with our holiday dinner.
