If I'd known that moving to Woodward would mean we would be blessed with this amazing group of friends I'd have been here long ago. Blessed we've been and I'm not sure I deserve such beautiful, creative, fun, giving, fabulous and hilarious girlfriends. I'm not kidding about the creative part....Jai made these homemade shortbread cookies. Wicked!

The dancing ended around midnight and my OCD partner and I had the decorations down, kitchen cleaned, floors mopped and our feet kicked up by 1:30. Which was actually only 12:30....thank you Daylight Savings Time! And thank you Halloween!! Just another reason to host a party!
