Ballet
December started with Meg and I taking my mom to the Nutcracker (we got her season tickets for Christmas). It has been a tradition since I was 7 and saw my first ballet. From Halloween on I always think about this beautiful ballet and the years I was blessed enough to dance in it. Ballet West as always was incredible and I loved every minute of it.
I have also been volunteering for ballet west for the past couple of months and it has been so much fun. I love meeting the people behind the scenes as well as watching the dancers from the wings.
Party Party Party
Meghan and I hosted an Ugly Sweater Party as well. It was quite the shin dig and a lot of people came out for it. We had a DIY cookie decorating station, cupcakes and the biggest hit...a hot chocolate bar with homemade whipped cream and marshmallows. It was the great way to end a stressful week of finals and kick off Christmas Break.
I could not find an ugly sweater that I loved or wanted to spend money on, so I made my own. It was a huge hit. I am saving it again to wear next year.
A Night in the 20's
Both Meghan and my friend Karli have December birthday's and they have celebrated them together the past two years. This year we threw a party that Mr.Gatsby himself would have been proud of. We figured it would be a great opportunity to use my parents basement and bring a little life to their house. We served a lot of different food but the biggest hit was the candy cigarettes and sparkling cider tower.
We had a couple game tables up for poker and other card games which every one seemed to love. I even learned how to play and ended up winning all the chips at the end. It was a very exciting moment.
