Spa Day Part 3 (Mary Kay Makeovers)

At Christmas Brunches of past years everyone brought food and we decorated our tables for Christmas.  This year we decided to try something new and different.  Since moms generally handle most of the holiday stress in a household (shopping, wrapping, baking, decorating.....) we decided that the moms needed a well-deserved day of relaxation.  So, we came up with a Spa Day complete with catered food, a homemade sugar scrub, Mary Kay facials, and for comic relief, a photo booth and ugly sweater contest. 


We had such a fun time and we have so many pictures to share that we thought it would be fun to post in several parts.
