when all the girls got here, we exchanged our ornaments. we had picked names out of hat and kept it all secret until it was time to open the ornaments.

a couple of hours before the party i panicked because i had no idea how everyone was going to get their cookies home. so my mom ran to packaging specialties for me and picked up these amazing treat boxes. score one for my mom.
