Sunset falls

On our way home from getting our Christmas tree, we stopped by Sunset falls with the Macks, and had a little photo shoot. That was a whole lot of fun!

Beautiful flower photo

This is a beautiful flower photo that Kayla took, and I edited for her. Good job Kayla!

Tea

Every year WPC has a Lady's luncheon, which includes a tea, music, lunch, and a gift exchange. We also had a table decorating contest. I'll tell you who won at the end of the table pics. :)

So, the above table I decorated. I also had cork candles in the coffee beans, but...I took the photo before adding them in. Silly me. :ol

This is Mrs. Macks table, that I think Michaela decorated.

This is my sisters table. VERY cute if you ask me. :)

This is Hannah Woltersorf's table.

I don't remember who decorated this table...

Sorry I did not get a good photo of this one, but Rebeckah Sturtevant decorated it, and I think it is adorable.

Cori Keithsweather decorated this one..

And now is the time you have all been waiting for....

*drum roll please* I WON!!!!! YES!

The little kiddos played in the cry room.

It was a blast! Thanks to Jill and Talitha Mack, and Chelsea Verduin for organizing it. :)

Thanksgiving Dance

                                         

I am only sharing a few photos of the Thanksgiving dance, because most of mine turned out blurry, and just horrid. The reason I am sharing any at all, is because I take photos to capture the memory...bad quality or not. (though I do try to make them as good as I can get)

I would like to thank the Mack Family for all of their hard work in organizing this dance. I had a wonderful time. :)

No, I do not know what they are talking about...

:o)

God has blessed me with an amazing Church family.

The Christmas Bizarre

The day after Thanksgiving, all of the gals went Christmas shopping at the Christmas bizarre in Portland. That was an absolute blast!!! But before we started out, we went with the guys to check something out in Home Depot.  Turns out my wonderful Grandparents bought a brand new refrigerator for my mom's Christmas present! She was so surprised. 

After that the guys went home and us gals stopped at Starbucks, then off to the bizarre!  

Shopping...

I think my favorite stand, was called, 'Za Zen." It is actually a store, and they brought some of their clothes to sell at the bizarre. VERY cute stuff. You could probably compare it to 'Romy's.'

There were these Christian brothers selling barbecue stuff called, 'king of Cajun.' They were so nice!

Ha ha ha- little Nickolas Maximus...he was sure having a blast in that new elf hat Caitlin got for him!

Lazy elf...

I came home with-

A National Geographic book that I won

A necklace and earring set for $3

A Christmas present for Papa (nope I'm not telling what it is. )

A cute sweater from 'Za Zen' for $5

And a whole bunch of makeup from an Avon stand

Then...

We came home to a HUGE surprise from the guys.

While we were gone they had made dinner...

Put in new lights...

got a whole new village...

And had decorated the outside of our house with Christmas lights!!! Wow- oh- wow! Everything was so beautiful and so Christmas like, that we all had to go upstairs and watch 'ELF.' -one of our favorite Christmas movies.

...And relax from the fun and eventful day!
