Yesterday we had our annual ladies luncheon, it was so much fun! I co-hosted a table with a dear friend. I was fortunate to have both of my daughters at my table, I do wish Brittany could have been there, too, but she was at work. It falls at a hard time of the year for her to miss a day, but maybe one of these years!

This is a picture-heavy post, but I like to be able to go back to remember.

This was our table.

For favors, I found these cute charms that were “prayer boxes” ~ they have 3 little angels that can be taken out, representing faith, hope, and love” What was cool about that to me is that my friend Beth had found a beautiful rock that said “faith, hope, and love” on it but of course I don’t have a close-up of it.

You can kind of see it there, though.

the food was delicious!

This was in the entry way, the girl who set this up just grabs stuff and throws it in a box and puts it together when she arrives. So cute.

This was her table.

From the other side.

When she was setting up, she dropped an angel statue and broke it’s poor head off. Then after I left she broke a beautiful dish. Bad day.

Here’s another look close up.

Another table.

Loved this centerpiece idea.

back to ours…

the food

we have incredible cooks!

loved the chocolate!

They forgot to get someone to run sound so Rhianna and her friend Allison jumped in to help. Allison is on the phone with Kenny trying to figure out what was wrong, major problems. Both these girls are very capable of running sound but something was drastically wrong. As Allison said, she wondered how I caught a picture of them looking so calm because they sure didn’t feel that way. Allison led us in worship, so sweet. She’s like a daughter to us and has been one of Rhianna’s best friends since fifth grade.

Somehow I didn’t get all of my pictures uploaded but you get an idea how wonderful it all was…the best part was all the laughing. There were gifts galore and tons of fun while the drawing for gifts was taking place. We had young girls sing for us and a ballet dance that made people cry. The message was about friendships and relationships. It was a great day!

I can’t quit laughing over last night. I must have been really tired! I fell asleep while wondering where I had put my glasses right before I was ready to sleep. I started looking and was so confused why I would have lost them without going anywhere and couldn’t even remember taking them off. Sometime in the night, Kenny got up and when he came back, I was standing up digging through the bed trying to find my glasses. I finally found them laying on the table next to the bed. Sometime later in the night, he woke up again to see me back up and digging through the covers looking for a pop can I lost. eh??????!!!!!!!?????

lol

The only thing I can figure is we had one explode in our car the other day when it was so cold out. I have been laughing all day about it, Kenny said I was barely back in bed and was out cold. This is not normal behavior for me at all.

For 3 or 4 days, Ribbit was missing! It is ALWAYS in my purse. I have looked everywhere and have been so perplexed over where he went. I was at Rhianna’s last night while she was trying to help me recover the videos I lost trying to upload them to my mac. Mayah was super cranky and when I was digging in my purse looking for something, she walked over with such expectation on her face because when I do that, Ribbit always appears. Well, he didn’t and she was not happy. Last night right before bed, I found him in the room Tyler watches tv in. He has no interest in Ribbit, but all I can figure is he took him in there. ??? No idea.

We had snow this morning! We’ve had a cold snap all week, never getting to single digits that I know of, but I know we saw 10 degrees. (hence the exploded pop can). They’ve been telling us rain was on the way and to expect snow during the convergence. it lasted about 30 minutes. Tyler was not quite up to par last night so we let him sleep in and he and I stayed home from church. He went outside and stood in it for about 3 minutes, it really perked him up.
