Last night I went to Hank and Heather’s holiday extravaganza complete with a white elephant gift exchange and fire pit. The highlights of the night were Jason stealing back his own gift (a Burt Reynolds triple feature DVD) and Hank yelling “don’t step on the hibiscus!” when the boys started roughhousing outside. I walked away with a pretty sweet basket of candy and movie passes which was pretty good considering there was a fart machine, a calendar of babies dressed up as fruit and a Burt Reynolds triple feature in the mix.

I wanted a winter dress for the party, so I chose this blue patterned dress at goodwill and cut it down to my size. I finished it minutes before we had to leave so I didn’t even have time to hem it. Here are two awkward pictures of me wearing it before and after.

I also made pumpkin cheesecake bars, which were lovely. Jason was especially fond of them. They are easy to make and are highly recommended. The recipe can be found here.
