Oh, Teri what a wonderful post.
Those moments where everything "Clicks" will be memories forever. Hopefully, This will set a tradition that will happen year after year. I know how excited you where when you were sharing your plans for this dinner. I can see you beaming with a smile from ear to ear with the dinner conservation and the camaraderie.
