Small Group - December

This was our month to host Small Group and it was one of those situations where I went to look at the calender for the week and realized that we were JAM PACKED!!!  So.... we decided to host at the Country Club that Dave manages.  The same room where I hosted our back to school dinner

It's convenient and I don't have to vacuum :)

I got home from school after 4:00 and I pulled out the box of silver decorations that I used to use in Luke's room (when he had the room to himself).  I hadn't used them this year and thought they would be easy to use.  When I got to the club I found some glass containers, mirrors and tea lights and I was ready to go!

I was home before 5:00, we got the kiddos dressed and came back up around 5:45 to light candles.  Dave went to pick up pizza and I set up glasses and lit the tealights.  PRETTY, right???




You know I'm busy when I resort to store bought dessert :)  These cupcakes were from Sam's and they were AWESOME!

Over Thanksgiving, Luke picked out a present for Kensington and it came just in time for him to give it to her!

SO CUTE!!!!

Kids table :) (they blew out all the candles)


A couple of "elves" showed up to pass out candy, read a story and take Christmas lists back to Santa :)


When did our kiddos get this big?!?!?!


After our friends left, we cleaned up :)

It's so nice to get to host somewhere other than our house. hahaha.  The kids have TONS of room to run (they were all red-cheeked by the time we left) and I don't have to vacuum before or after :)

Party Time

Even though I didn't host a "BIG" Halloween party this year. I was able to make a couple of little get togethers at my house this month festive! :)

It was my turn to host our Bible Study/Book Club/Accountability group and I thought it would be fun to make it a little bit themed...

Spoooooooooky SKOR bars are a MUST :)

When I have food "displayed" I think it always looks better when there are levels. My cake stand broke a while back and so I improvised with some scarier looking books.





"So Good It's Scary Chicken Spaghetti"



This month I also hosted our small group at our house.  Since everything was already decorated I threw down some Halloween napkins and voila!  Instant Festive!


Kids table :)


And it wouldn't be a good party without some sword fighting, right?!?!?! :)
(WHAT is Mason doing in this pic???)


Dave and I attended the "after party" in the boys room... the theme was "organization" :)
