Orit’s Birthday

For orit’s birthday this year we had a private chef come in for the evening one night, and then had a big fondue party for her friends the following night.  I did not take a lot of photos of guests at the big party, as i was busy preparing fondue and crepes, just mostly of the food the first night when the chef prepared dinner for us.

 

The Table set beautifully

i swear, there was food.  but i guess i did not get a picture of the cheese fondue.  this is the chocolate one we had after.  i guess i was too busy and neglected some of my duties.
