Jeanine hosted a hen party for her friends this evening, one of whom was celebrating her birthday. I was not invited and spent the evening in my office until summoned to take a group photo. Jeanine was laughing uncontrollably, for reasons I hope to discover later, and I was not able to get a “serious” portrait of the group. Having said that, this image captures the mood of the night very accurately.

UPDATE: I have learned the cause for laughter, but have been told I may not publish the details. I can reveal that it involved an unintentional “jeu de mots” during a conversation between Jeanine and her hairdresser about a new employee at the salon.
