takin' it back retro style

Sunday, November 22, 2009

our church had a volunteer appreciation dinner and we were asked to dress up in our favorite decade. our fam represented the 50's, 60's, & 70's.
jordan really took ownership of his outfit and started a month ago to grow out his bread then created his amazing handle bars. i attempted a beehive with a roll of toilet paper under that mess.
thank you so much hcb-rr staff for putting on such an awesome show tonight. you all out did yourselves!!

Sissy's Designs had a craft fair on Saturday. It was a lot of work getting ready for it, but Britt and I had fun doing it. Unfortunately, it was not very successful, but we did pass out a lot of cards. Please continue to talk about us, word of mouth is our best advertisement. :)

halloween was a fun time for our family. it's so much fun making your costumes and dressing up as a theme. the babies were great and loved people watching.
