Yay for Christmas!!!

I love Christmas. Here are my decorations thus far!

I made the sock countdown from that picture Shauna sent out. Each sock has a candy in it to countdownto Christmas! The socks and candy were all from the dollar store, so it was only $15. Super cheap and cute and great!

I put up our tree yesterday and decorated it.

Sadly, this picture doesn't do it justice when it's all lit up. And I got these cute little presents as Christmas/Good-bye presents for my piano students.

Look Out Below

My blog is being stupid and published the post I did yesterday as November 8th, so peek below the Masquerade to check out my giraffe.

Masquerade!

Last night was St. Mary's annual Masquerade ball. It was fantastic! First of all, dressing up was so much fun. We got our masks off of Amazon.

And we got to know people from church better. Here are the wonderful people we sat with, who definitely rigged the voting because amazingly they all won the costume contests...

And they took photographs there during the silent auction (which we won some handmade cards and a trip to Wendover for crazy cheap).

And the photographer just thought Kyle was the greatest because of this photo.

And at the very end they held a raffle. We had bought 5 tickets for $20 and won the grand prize of a $500 card to the Venetian hotel in Vegas that we can use for rooms, shows, dining, and shopping! They have the Phantom and the Blue Man group there as well as TONS of shopping stores!!! I am so excited!!!!

Definitely the best Masquerade Ball I've ever been to :)

Kraft Klass

If you read Amy's post you already know about Kass's craft class. Mine didn't turn out as cute as theirs...but it was fun.

Copy Catter Follower

Kass has this cool magnet board at her house that has the days of the week and all the meals she makes on magnets. So since I never know what to eat or make I decided to copy her. I got all the stuff from Ikea a long time agoand it's been sitting around because I didn't want to screw it up or make it totally ugly. But today I couldn't stand all this stuff laying around anymore so I went to work. I haven't written the meals on the magents yet, but here's where it is in my kitchen: And here's a close up:

I love how it turned out!
