THanks for the awesome party lindsey! We had a great time. I even got that delicious sugar cookie recipe from your friend lindsey D- im super excited to try it out!
Linds your parties looked so so fun! I loved your costume, so jealous because ever since I saw WICKED a few weeks ago, I wanted to to the Wizard of Oz theme...I wanted to be Elfaba, the green witch, however Brand wouldn't be a flying monkey, fiiiine then! But I love your costumes and your game ideas, so much fun!
We had so much Lindsey! Thanks for hosting such a fun night!
SO AWESOME! I loved looking at all the pics. Glad you enjoyed the games, too. Isn't it so fun to be a kid again?! Your costumes were fantastic.
My favorite pic of the night was the one where you were eating the saltine. I'm still laughing!
