Lots to share...

Lots of happenings in the past couple of weeks....

Hailey's cheer team entered their first cheer competition two weekends ago and did an amazing job!!! They came up with their routine and stunts in about 2 weeks time and then placed 1st in their category! We were so proud of them!!!

That same weekend I hosted a girls weekend for some of my bestest girlfriends that I have been friends with since 7th grade. Julie flew in from Juneau and then Inger, Shauni, Terri and I got to hang with her for a whole weekend! It was so great to relive old memories and catch up with everyone! We also had pedicures, went shopping, had a cheese fondue feast and a girls slumber party in the bonus room! Thanks girls for such an amazing weekend!Shauni, Terri, Inger, Julie and MeSlumber Party Time!!!
That same weekend (after the girlfriends left) our small group hosted our annual "Operation Christmas Child" party. After chowing down on pizza we all gathered together to wrap shoe boxes filled with goodies to send to kids all around the world....we always have such an amazing time!

Then.....this past week I worked on finishing a canvas backdrop I was asked to make for Santa pictures at our church's Christmas Bazaar. I decided to do a fireplace scene so I sketched out my ideas on paper then blow it up with my projector and then painted away. In true "Last Minute Lesie" style I painted from 10pm on Thursday evening until 10am on Friday morning to get it done for hanging that evening! Even though I did it all last minute it still turned out pretty good and I was even able to get a cute picture of Mike and I in front of it after we hung it at the church. I can't wait to see the Santa pictures my friend, Cheryl, took with the backdrop! In my garage after I finished the painting a close up of the mantle

all set up at the church
