Light & Blessing Photography: Fall Party

Last year when Taylor and I were in Ecuador together and weren't sure if we both would be in Charleston this year, we would have little planning sessions about what we would do if we did live close to each other again. And as it turned out God led both of us here to Charleston- so we had a whole list of things to do together already! One main thing we decided was that we needed to throw parties for our friends. We both love organizing parties and through some that we had in Ecuador, we knew we wanted to continue our party hosting tradition! So last month we threw a Fall Party for our friends and co-workers :). Taylor works over on Kiawah Island and invited her co-workers, while I work on Seabrook Island and invited all the other naturalists and staff here at St. Christophers. The Fall party was obviously autumn inspired (with some help from my new obsession Pinterest), with cute little acorn snacks, s'more pops and even a Fall Quiz! There was a lot of prep but people definitely helped out and brought some of their favorite dishes and as a result we had TONS of food :) It was a great time to hang out and to meet new friends through games like 'Bags' - if you're from the Midwest or 'Cornholes' if you're from the South… (all this new terminology from living down here, ie. 'cut on the lights' instead of 'turn on the lights'- who knew?? ) But I have to say that the most popular toy at the party was our Photo booth with our friend Scarecrow Stacey. We had a bin of dress up clothes and people let their imaginations go with their Photo Booth pics…

In the end our first party was a success - people had fun- games were played, good food was eaten and the weather was perfect! Hopefully the next parties will be a success too!! Thanks to all of you that helped out and came to our party! Can't wait for the next one with you all :)
