Christmas Banquet

Oh happy night. Night of magic and bliss. Senior year, Christmas banquet.
Okay, it wasn't all that. But it was lots of fun. When everyone heard it was going to be in the school art room, people wondered how on earth we were going to make it elegant at all. The ART room? Of all places! But they didn't know what we were going to do with it!
By the time everyone arrived at 5:00 pm today, it was a winter wonderland. There were 10 or more christmas trees scattered throughout the room and the hallway, covered in christmas lights. There were white christmas lights all over the walls. The candles on the table and in the fireplace created the final touch of light that was needed. Six tables filled with six beautiful high school students decked up in their finest.
My table was lots of fun. We had Hans, Sissy, Shamsheer, and Ashley.  David never showed up :-( We decided each of the tables needed a name, so we named one the Couples Table, one the Jealous Single table, one the Improv Group table, one was Freshmen, the last one we couldn't find a common thread to tie through, so it was the Misc. And of course we are the Single and Proud of It Table. Or the Yearbook table, since we're all on YB.
The table behind Hans was having a riot, laughing their heads off, so we decided they couldn't show us up. Shamsheer counted 1-2-3 and we all burst out laughing as loudly as we dared and then laughed at each other fake laughing. We did that a number of times throughout the evening when we felt it getting too silent in the room. Ashley just looked at us like we were crazy.
A little background, Ashley is one of my best friends ever. She's the kind of person that has to have everything in line and matching (which is not me at all), so last banquet she REFUSED to take a picture with me because she was wearing a red dress and my shawl was purple. lol I thought it was funny. She was extremely embarrassed about it, but just couldn't bring herself to do it. Well, this time she walked in, and we instantly realized we were wearing the exact same shade of aqua blue: her shawl and the stripe down my dress. It was perfect. =D and we were happy because we got our perfect picture together in our matching formal wear.
All in all it was a fun evening. One of the better banquets I've been to because it was so puuurty and I just had a great time with friends.
Love you guys!!
