Doug worked with Jim Mize at the Preston Partnership. I was able to meet his wife Jeanine during one of Preston's black tie affairs. I thought it was really neat...Bob Preston always held these events during late January or early February, in lieu of a holiday party, so more of his staff and customers could attend. Bonus for attendees, as all of the holiday dresses, etc are on major clearance by that time! :) It was always fun to get dressed up and head to Anthony's in Buckhead. Anthony's is an old mansion right in the middle of Buckhead, complete with a cool, old wine cellar. Doug and I enjoyed going to each of these events. I hit it off famously with Jeanine Mize. She is so sweet! She had their daughter Lily about a year before we had Ava. Since then, we've hung-out occasionally and go to Lily's birthday parties, Easter celebrations, Halloween parties, 4th of July fireworks, etc. They're so fun!
Jeanine is seriously crafty when it comes to party invitations and all-things-PARTY. Her party invitations are the best! She would love to get into party-planning. I think she would seriously clean-up in this category!
These are pictures of Lily's 5th birthday party. Invitations mentioned kids should come dressed in costume. She had it at Pettit Farms, complete with camels (which we fed), a bounce house, corn maze and petting zoo. It was the closest I've ever come to a camel. I was quite a bit out of my comfort zone in feeding one, too! :) Lily was a spider, with an outfit homemade by her Mama. Very cool birthday party, super cute costume!
Peace, love and FIVE candles for Lily!
Shelly, Doug, Ava and Liam
