Favorite Things Party! WaHoo!

Cortney & Shauna putting the finishing touches on the numbers for everyone to draw - in my laundry room :)

Yes, those Anthro candles were the hot pick of the night...and I scored one!

Mascara and eyeliner was a big one this year too! They went F.A.S.T

Everyone loves this part...going around and telling what they brought and why. It's like a walking advertisement and some of these girls are GOOD...like commercial good :)...they LOVE their favorite thing(s) and want to share it with the world!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this party! It is so fun and festive at Christmas time and such a blessing to be able to share such a fun girly night filled with friends, Christmas music, yummy food and laughter! When I started it last year we all had a great time! But as the year flew by and Fall arrived I had texts and run ins at the store with friends making sure it was going to happen this year! Of course because I think I have just as much fun planning as I do being a part of it. Last year the drinking glasses were the chalkboard stemless wine glasses...so this year I decided to be "crafty" and buy stemless $1 store wine glasses and try the whole gold glitter around the bottom idea. It was tougher than I thought but it happened and who cares that there was glitter EVERY.WHERE especially in the wine. It's Christmas so what's a little more glitter and glitz!?!? I totally appreciate Tim on this night because he sees the planning and gets home a bit earlier than normal, takes the kids out to dinner and ice cream and then whisks them away upstairs for bedtime. He does re-appear to snap a big group picture and then is always right there to help with dishes and clean it all up...and does so with a big heart because he knows I love love doing this stuff.  As friends were walking out the door they were making sure there would be one next year and some even wanted to compile a list of the top favorite things from year to year. A fun and full girls night at one of my favorite times of the year!
