This past Saturday night at night at Doubles there was a first time “Home For the Holidays,” a buffet and disco night for boarding school and college students. Families took tables and invited friends and children’s friends. Stephanie Lawrence, the daughter of Jeanne Lawrence (NYSD’s San Francisco and Shanghai Diarist) celebrated an “early” 22nd birthday (actual in January) with a group of friends. Kristina Hamner-Yonke celebrated her 21st.

There was the famous extravagant Doubles buffet and the astounding dessert table, along with a great DJ and everyone was out on the dance floor boogeying, moms, dads, and everyone else. Someone said the younger set loved getting dressed up for the occasion (Jacket and Tie).
