This is one of the best gifts I got for my bridal shower. The One Touch Can Opener. As seen on TV! I hate opening cans so this makes me very happy. Put it on and push the button. Voila! I sound like an infomercial, but I just love it.

After relaxing from our crazy week, we decided to put up our Christmas tree. It makes the apartment feel much more merry. We got three new ornaments for the tree this year. One from my mom which is a little snowman wearing a green hat with a clover on it, one from my great aunt for our first Christmas, and one that we bought in Ireland at the Guinness Storehouse.

Another SnowBall picture because technically this was taken around 1:30 in the morning. We had a blast hanging out with Scott and Shane. Don't these three look handsome?

SnowBall is finally here! The Black Diamond went really well, the holiday trees looked great, and we had a blast at the event. It was a really exciting night and we were happy to be part of it.

More SnowBall preparations! Dane had his volunteers come to the Park Plaza to help decorate Christmas trees. A few companies came who had sponsored trees to decorate and the volunteers took care of the rest. The room looked so festive when all the trees were lit up and decorated.

SnowBall is on Friday, and tonight I had some volunteers help me put together the gift bags together for the Black Diamond. They came together really well, even though they had me stressed out.

Back to work already. I had the day off, but Dane was back to the office today. That night we had one of our final meetings for the SnowBall. We sorted through some of the items that were donated for the Silent Auction and found a baseball signed by Mike Lowell of the Red Sox. Dane had his Lowell shirt on so he was pretty excited.
