Also,

Our living room was a winter wonderland. (I made up that alliteration all by myself.) The snowflakes are incredible, don't you think? I folded and cut them while watching Rachael Ray.

This picture was taken the morning after the event. Lots of friends spent the night, but only my 8th grade boyfriend managed to sneak in the picture.

People left beer and wine. That was nice. They were probably so blown away by my magnificent punch and charming personality that they felt they owed us the leftover alcohol. What sweeties.

(Clarification: He was my boyfriend when we were in 8th grade. He is not a current boyfriend that happens to be in 8th grade. The current boyfriend is old...er than me.)
