Our 3rd “Ugly Christmas Sweater” Party

This past Saturday, we hosted our 3rd “Ugly Christmas Sweater” Party.  We always have so much fun and love seeing everyone’s sweaters.  They get more creative each year.

I can’t tell you how many people told me that my sweater WASN’T ugly!  Really people?!  It came complete with a fur collar.  It was horrible.

Steve, the guy in the skirt, won the contest.  He won a gift card to Cracker Barrel, where all ugly sweaters are accepted.

Advent House & “Twist” Update

Every November 30, “Twist” comes to the house, with candy in hand, to fill up Kelsie and Kyle’s Advent House.  They try to sweet talk me every morning into letting them have the candy with their breakfast!

What has “Twist” been up to lately??

Pinterest Christmas Craft

When I saw this on Pinterest, I knew I had to make one…

I couldn’t find the exact supplies they used (Tulip brand glue and glitter), so I used Martha Stewart Glitter Glue and Fine Glitter (color – Bronze).  I found a black canvas at Michaels, which saved me lots of time since I didn’t have to paint the canvas.  Here’s how mine turned out…


I just love how it turned out!
