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.

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!
