Holly Ball

On Saturday night Kyle and I went to the 2008 Holly Ball. It is a formal event held every year that is a benefit for CentraCare Hospice. Here are a few pictures I had our sitter take before we headed out for the night. We could only get one picture alone before Mara and Olivia had to join us. We met up with some friends at The Red Carpet Martini Lounge for a couple of drinks before heading over to The Civic Center. It was a fun night out with friends. They always have good food too. I thought the best thing this year was the mashed potato bar. They gave us seasoned mashed potatoes in a martini glass and then we had to add the toppings. Someone told me they had the potato bar last year too, but I must have missed it.
The bottom pictures are of our Christmas stockings that Kyle’s sister Chrystal made. She cross-stitched all of them. I bet she is glad that she is done with our family and that we aren’t having anymore kids!! I just got Olivia and Mara’s today when we were in the cities for Zach’s Birthday party. I was so excited to get them all up I had to take a picture. The kids were pretty excited too.
