Thank you to Joanna for posting the boys’ birthday party on Nesting today!

Did that grab your attention?

Ryan and the lovely, über-talented Anna Costa are teaming up once again to perform at church this Sunday, so I’m inviting you all to come out! If you know a thing or two about Ryan’s musical prowess, then you will be sure to attend. And Miss Anna? See for yourself here. And here (scroll down). And…here.

Sold? Then call or email me, and I’ll fill you in the when and where. I promise you it’ll be off the hook. I mean, amazing. And yes, you can bring your kiddos. Believe you me, there is many a screaming and crying fit during our church services. Maybe my children. Maybe not. Just saying…

Originally, Ryan had offered to take me to see Wicked, and spend a day down in LA, sans boys. But as much as I love musicals and the well-choreographed use of jazz hands, we are print nerds and excited to find out about a local letterpress studio. Thank you to Fiona at Lettre Sauvage!

Hopefully Santa can make out that this is from Kai and he would like a puzzle. We even went to the post office today, bought stamps, and had Kai slip the envelope into the mail slot. Exciting stuff for a three-year-old.

Need Santa’s address? Find it here. Thank you, Stephanie. : )

Without getting into how long I procrastinated these and how late I stayed up last night putting fifty of these together (cutting paper down from parent sheets by hand really bites), here are the invitations I designed for this year’s Relief Society Christmas dinner.

Our RS President wanted the focus to be more spiritual than feast. Dinner involved a salad, and different types of soups served in bread bowls (play off the ‘Bread of Life’ theme). As appetizers, we had spinach dip (also in bread bowls) already set out on the tables. Having this dinner at a sister’s home made for an intimate evening. Dessert was peppermint ice cream pie.
