31bits party
Last week we got to go to the 31bits holiday party. 31bits is an amazing organization on many levels: they make gorgeous recycled jewelry, they bring jobs to women in Uganda, and they throw really fun parties where we get to dance like fools with our kids.

I think it was about 60 degrees out this night, but she insisted on wearing a tank top, clashing neon socks, and flip-flops. As amused as I was . . .
