Jared celebrated with the red plate on the morning after hisseason ending water polo awards banquetwhere he received ~MVP award from League playoffs,a Scholar Athlete Commendation,Coach's Award as the team's "future" &"best all around" water polo player acknowledgment.Way to go, Sonshine!And if that wasn't enough fun...he also had his high school's"Winter Formal" dinner & dance night. What a darling couple they made!
My friends celebrated my birthday with me...and what a lucky girl I am!!!
First of all, my sweet sister, Erin, made me dinner on my B.day Eve...
...followed by a coffee & pedicure date with my fun friend, Suzelle! (no photos of either of these 2 good times....rats!)
A lunch date with the Wilson Girls...where the waiter brought us complimentary oozing hot chocolate lava cake to share for dessert...and I was the recipient of lovely presents...blessings abound!
And...a couple of the knotty knitters conspired to "gift me" with a project to make, my first pair of human size socks...with THE most lovely hand dyed yarn in Mermaid colors (made by Janice) and the wisdom & guidance will come from my personal "knitting~sansei" Cindy (this is no subtle hint Cindy, the book doesn't get you out of helping me along!!!).
A big THANKS to you all...for making a girl feel celebrated...and not just a bit older.
I had seen a jingle bell embellished scarf in the Martha Stewart Magazine a couple of years ago, and have had it in my head to knit one myself, ever since.
I like the red bells against the creamy silk yarn...
it feels soft too...without looking fuzzy.
My daughter thinks I should give it to her?!
My "Good Things" girlfriends group met for a Christmas Crafts night...and this is what we made! Candy covered candles & cones for our holiday decoration needs...all from cheapy stuff from the dollar store!
This year my kids were all about the 50's & the 60's.
With a
"Greaser Guy"
& a
"Go-Go Girl"!What a nostalgic trip back in time...
...and the trick or treating was pretty fun too.
