Dinner & Decorating

Why do my pictures keep loading out of order?!?!?!?!? Grrrrrr!

Well, here is a picture from several weeks ago. Braden was laying on the floor (don't remember, but we might have been playing LIFE) and Dallas decided he was a good place to lay and chew her rawhide. I shot this picture and then my camera batteries died.

Last night, I had my high school small group over for dinner. Well, 4 of the 7 girls. (We had homemade chicken and noodles, homemade mashed potatoes, rolls, and homemade pumpkin bars and homemade iced sugar cookies)
After dinner, the girls worked on their "outfits" for the upcoming high school Christmas party at church. I thought it would be funny for them to make and wear "Christmas sweaters." They are super creative! Can't wait until next week........ assuming they are brave enough to wear them. And assuming the paint is dry by then :)

Out of order, here is Kayla's finished project. Among other things, she traced Christmas cookie cutters with glitter puff paint. And to top it off, cut slits in the bottom that she then wove lace ribbon in and out of!



Kayla and Christina with their finished creations. C. then helped to sew bells on the bottoms of Danielle's "arm warmers" - previously the sleeves of her Christmas sweater.



D. (on left) and Brittany (they're identical twins, but that's hard to see in the pic) beginning to lay out their sweaters.



K. and C. beginning their sweaters. (Last night was the first time C. had ever used an iron!)


We had dessert after the sweaters were done and then watched Elf. Overall, I think they had a good time and good food. I was exhausted by the time I crawled into bed a little after 11:00 pm! Doesn't that make me sound old!
