She gave us these big choc lips too.
Arent these the most wonderful dolls!?

from nat
These were all from natalea. she made the sweetest little ornaments and them filled out packages up with so many other sweet things as well...
from ludonna
HEr mom Ludonna made this great paper ornament.. (can you see where nat gets her talent from?)
from Jenny
I didnt get a good picture of what Jenny gave us, but it was a bag full of goodies with the sweetest little heart flower in a pot!! I posted it in black and white cause my colors were so off in the picture that you couldnt make it out.. (look at the other girls blogs anyways, they have so many better picures then I!) I LOVE the sweet little things that Jenny makes.
at dinner.. sandy got a buzz!
we went out in a snowstorm to downtown buffalo for a great dinner, good food and LOTS of outrageous laughing!
at dinner
we also crafted these awesome mandalas. I had never made anything like this before and brought mine home to finish up, but here are some pics of them all.
sandys
they are all so pretty! mine is the one in the middle.. needs some more work! We stayed up late chitchatting, story telling and laughing ! Then this morning Natalea made us eggs benedict! OH soo good!

Anyways.. I am exhausted and am going to bed as soon as I get a drink of water and shut this computer off.. I'll do some blog hopping tomorrow.. so see you all then! geez.. I'm so tired that Im afraid most of this that I just typed might not make any sense... Oh well.. im posting it anyways and will reread it in the morning !

nightie night all!
