snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

so i love holidays but i'm not always able to convince myself to go to the big socal things for it (ever seen that scene in tangled where she's deciding wheher to leave the tower? ya me over the ward social) so i decided to have a few girls over for a little christmas girls night in dinner and cookie decorating extravaganza

• yummy homemade tortilla soup
• light every candle in the house
• worlds best vegatable dip
• cookies (duh)
• girl talk ...lots of girl talk  and then some more girl talk that somehow ends in scary stories and murder?
• christmas light looking( i'll post a video or you can youtube the house up the street from me has a whole light music show extravaganza...it even has a light board you can text messages to)
• get hit on on said text-light board/have heather save chrstmas from polluters
• the new girl christmas episode

looks like we've got ourselves an anual christmas tradition

thanks

im a lag at blogging thses days...i blame instagram

but ts better to say thanks late than never

im grateful we get this day every year to say thanks and eat lots

death becomes you

cami and teen and i wanted to do a halloween spooky dinner...so we did

paper goods are expensive ...but plastic that looks like metal? worth it

i own alot of items that could be in a haunted mansion

cami loves cheesecloth

cami and teen are the best and most gracious of hostesses

after painting white on my face i immediately put bronzer...

i will not be cute dead or come one month since i barely got tan this summer

candied apples are best done with two people

wash the sticks before you put them in the apple

woodstain does not come out of clothes...(sorry teen) but made excellent place cards

i'm behind the camera all night so i feel 89 percent justified in taking a mirror picture of myself and posting it on the world wide web to prove i was involved (11% still feels it may be weird of me to do)

i am sure teen will post more pics on her party blog ...i just got to em first cuz i had em ...so keep posted with her here

so it was my dad's bday this past week and we decided to do a harry potter dinner for him (for the kids?) everyone dressed up (i knew the long sleeve long black craft like jersey dress was a smart purchase)  my brother showed up in a weird thermal outfit, glasses and a wand and insisted he was a dead harry potter... we made an extensive home made butterbeer recipe and all my garage sale finds turned out to look surprisingly hogwartian all placed on a table...oh and of course my brother brought his fog machine...still not sure how he came to own one...and it was complete with floating candles the idea of which i got from mary and may have started the whole thing
