First things first, this cool kid decided that his goal was to read Harry Potter 1 before the Yule Ball. He finished the night before, he was pretty proud of himself.
Second, I was crazy and decided to sew a cloak for Caleb the night before the Yule Ball.
Day of, fun preparations. I made the boys pumpkin pasties and chocolate caramel pretzel wands, plus lots of other yummy food for our "great feast." I also decorated our dinner area with the lights to resemble the feast. As my awesome Haley put it, "it looks like the cultural hall in Harry Potter." So cool!
We dropped the boys off at the library in a blizzard. Bridger also went with them and they all had a blast!
The dance area was decorated really cool with lights and the crest of each house. Not only was there butter beer (one cup per kid, grrr), they had a Honeyduke's candy shop, a really enormous line for divination, scavenger hunts, different trivia games and fun activities, and the kids could receive coins to vote for their house to win the house cup at the end of the night. Hufflepuff won!!
They also had this really awesome bearded dragon dressed as a Hungarian Horntail.
Live owls. In this picture the owl was busy tearing up a tissue with his talons, to help it not be bored.
The kids walked away from the night really happy and with some really cute looking Harry Potter glasses that make them look too adorable. It was a super fun night!
