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.
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??
The kids love a funny joke. Their favorite – What’s brown and sticky?… A stick!
“Twist” decided to leave them some funny Christmas jokes all over the house.
Printable kids Christmas jokes can be found here. This site also has a “Magic Recovery Kit” for when your elf is intentionally accidentally touched by the brats kids.
November 30 – Today, as I look back on November, I realize that I am completely blessed. There are so many things in my life that I am thankful for that I could not fit into 30 days. I have a wonderful husband, healthy children and a crazy, but amazing family. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
Why you shouldn’t do drugs, according to Kelsie…
November 29 – Today I am thankful for my sweet, sensitive little boy, who is hugging on his mama as I type this. I hope he never gets tired of huggin’ on me!
This is where Duke has been hiding when the sun is shining…
November 28 – Today I am thankful for Duke. Yes, I am thankful for my dog. He was mine and Dave’s first purchase together before we were married. He has brought us lots of joy and laughs and lots of tears (especially after having to pay $600 to have his eye fixed or $500 to have the carpet replaced). We love him and can’t imagine what our family would be like without him.
“Twist” has been all over the place lately. His new thing is leaving notes for the kids. Kyle enjoys reading them; Kelsie wants to know who has the sloppy handwriting.
November 27 – Today I am thankful for a daughter with a vivid imagination and great memory. Now that she knows the secret about “Twist”, she has been moving him each night (because Dave and I have forgotten to move him in the past. We called him the lazy elf when he didn’t move for a few nights in a row!). She came up with the idea of “Twist” wearing a bikini.
