Yankee swap gifts were placed under the tree which many guests helped to trim:

Fun with tinsel!

Oh Joy!  Gotta love the Goorin Bros. clan!

Somehow we look pretty sneaky for girls innocently trimming the tree!

This is serious business!

Of course no cocktail party at The Hawthorne is complete without some yummy treats!  The deviled eggs with capers, smoked salmon, and dill were lovely.
