A lovely weekend to dress up

The 26th annual Old St. Patrick’s Emerald Ball was this past Friday at the Chicago Hilton.  In an elegant evening of dinner and dancing, we honored the families that have enriched our community through dedication of philanthropy and service.  It was also an excellent reason to get all dressed up and enjoy some time with our OSP friends and – this year, our family as well!  Please enjoy some pictures below but, as always, head over to Picasa for the full treat:image

And Katie came too (always looking for an excuse to get dressed up!)

Continuing the “black and white” theme, we also had the pleasure of hosting Miles here for the weekend while Michael and Joanna took a weekend to be with friends and family in Ohio.  Crowley loved having someone to hang out and all in all, I think it was a pretty good first stay for Miles too!

Throw in a great steak (and macaroni and cheese!) dinner and time with friends compliments of Mark B and placing and order for a couple new iPhones, it’s been a great weekend (and that’s even before what’s shaping up to be a “You Are My Rock” Sunday at OSP)!
