The Gift of Time 2011. {Part 2}

So you may or may not remember my past post of our families "Pirate Party!" {Say that 5 times fast! haah}. Well, this month was my family's turn to host the party. Our theme? 1920's Murder Mystery. The day before the party was spent slaving away in the kitchen {which I love!} preparing a gourmet 5 course meal! We had such a good time getting ready for the party we knew it was going to be a blast.

The play was set at a wine festival in the late 1920's.  The family all dressed up and mingled with the time's most respected wine entrepreneurs, enthusiasts, journalists, and even a few celebrities. 5 years earlier at the wine festival the Vineyard's owner Barry went missing. The mystery is set off when an earthquake resurfaces the body and a Murder needs to be solved! We had a blast acting out out parts surrounded by delicious food, wines, and music from the family Victrola floating through the air. I wont give away too much about the story.. Because after all the hard work my brother did writing in 14 parts, I am definitely hoping we may be able to use it again! Whose in? :)

Without further adieu, my family, in 1920's awesomeness.

P.S. This promises to be a rather long post... Consider yourself warned. :)
