1. Great pics! Michelle looks especially beautiful in that multicolored dress.

I hope some more are posted tomorrow somewhere of their party. Our friends were there tonight. I'm anxious to talk to them and find out how the event went and who all was there. Maybe she or her hubby will have some shots she'll share with me. :)
