LBD Social

The August Squadron Social was technically my last event as a 50th spouse. The theme was Little Black Dress (LBD)! We met at Tampico Bay, a popular Mexican restaurant with a newly private back area for parties. Not necessarily the place one might get all dressed up to go, but it ended up being a nice mix of delightfully classy, yet unrefined!
Our squadron commander's wife (and scrapbook paper phenom) hosted the event and went all out with fun little details, including the table setting. She even made LBD labels for the wine bottles which served as door prizes. Too cute!
It was fun to see everyone all dressed up and looking fabulous. I've really enjoyed getting to know all the wives of the 50th, and many have come and gone in the time since we've been here. We often come from different places and sometimes are at different stages of life, but we have a strong and common bond of being a military wife that draws us together. These ladies really do care for each other like family!
These are just a few of some of my favorite 50th ladies, or Strikin' Snake Sssisters (l-r, t-b... Cindy, Shannon, Nicole, Nikki, and Amy). It's been a great group to be a part of, and I will really miss them. It was the perfect last social though, with lots of smiles and laughs had by all!
And we finished the evening with LBD cupcakes! Aren't they cute?!!! Aaron cracked me up though, when he saw the picture and asked why they had black cats on them??? :)
