November 19th – New Moon Party My co-worker, Trecia, put on a New Moon party at her house on the night that New Moon was showing in the theatres at midnight.  She put so much work into decorating her house, preparing cute sayings for the food, and making goodie bags for us all.  She even…

School started the end of August, and the kids were excited to go back and see their friends again, and meet new teachers.  Brittany started Middle School this year, and would be switching classes, so she was nervous, but excited for that new part of her school life.
