What's the hold up...

For about the last month, maybe more, I have been working on stuff for the Stake activity. So between that and remodeling the house, my house has definately suffered! I was in charge of the decorating(thanks very much Mark!) :) Anyway, so I was scrambling trying to find ideas and asking others what they thought. So we came up with the Winter Wonderland theme and for some reason I just kept thinking I wanted to use tulle. Usually it is for wedding decor, but it definately was worth it. For those of you who missed it, I got a few pics. But they are blurry and so these don't show it off quite right, it was way too awesome! I didn't even get what the DJ had and it was the icing on the cake :) The first pic is our family in the photo booth, you should have come just for the pics! The second pic is super cute! They danced together almost the whole time :)




Our Christmas card picture 2008, um..hello Caleb, you are supposed to smile! :)



Kylan and Karmen, learning how to cha-cha


You can barely see it, but the tulle is draped on the trees and hanging down. It looked great in person!


More trees, and can you see the tulle hanging from the ceiling?


This was the chandelier and it all turned out fabulous, if I do say so myself! I can't take all the credit though, I had some great helpers and it all came together just right! If you missed out, too bad for you! Next year should be fun too!

So now that it's all over I can get back to cleaning up all the mess that has been ignored. Wait, maybe I can volunteer for something else! :)

I loved the chandelier. I wasn't there on Sat. Caleb HATES dances and dancing. However, I saw it on Sunday and thought it looked gorgeous!

That looks BEAUTIFUL! You shouldn't do such a good job, because now you will be in charge of stuff like this all the time! I liked your comment on volunteering for something else - I am an impulsive volunteerer. The second I have some free time or down time, I say yes to whatever comes along. Another reason we are friends!
