Masquerade Party

Everyone needs a girls' night now and again. 

{I made a mini-mask for Ellie}

{Mom and matching ellie. And yes, I realize I have more of a catwoman look than a masquerade look. Whoops.}

{The night included a grueling game of full-contact spoons,}

{homemade crème brulée by Jessica, my gourmet cook sister ...}

{ ... which she was later dared to wolf down within 10 seconds,}

{a truly inspiring rendition of the Jordan High cheer, performed by two of Jordan's best x-cheerleaders,}

{and a Nelly-like rap improvised by Karlee, also known as K-Dawg. Yes, I have video. And no, I won't post it here because I love Karlee too much. The only reason we got her to do it was so she could claim the headband she is wearing  — handmade by yours truly — as her prize}

Thanks for a fun night, girls!
