Ugly Sweater Party

Did you have a fun weekend full of festivities? I don’t think most people are DIY-ing much this week. It’s the season to simmer in social situations and over-use the words “Twis” and “Twas.” The time to enjoy ourselves has arrived. And I plan on it. Sorry if you’re disappointed that you won’t be seeing any walls come down in the next two weeks. It’s time to party like it’s the year 01 AD. I love Christmas. I love parties. Always awesome. Always rockin.

You are virtually invited to re-live:

The theme for our decorations were Winter Wonderland inspired. It started to look like a baby shower for a boy with all the blue and white. It’s a boy! …Too much? Waiting for lightning to strike.

Aaron and Addi were my little elves. I left all the decorating up to them. They went to the party store and came back with all kinds of things. Paddles, confetti, fake snow, and snowflakes. They figured it would tone down the baby shower feel. Never let a man go to the party store without a specific list and/or a wife. Expect to have next month’s grocery budget spent. Not what I expected…

He had fun. So I’m not mad.

Wonderland-y enough?

The spread of taco soup, veggies, guac, and green goodness equaled our daily calorie intake.

The furries, of course, had their uglies on.

I completely blew this photo. My Nikon D70 is on its way out. (The battery won’t stay charged enough to auto focus. Boo you whore.) I can’t WAIT for Christmas

So here’s a better picture of their sweaters!

Aaron and Reggie. Always matching. Always cute.

Eric, never disappoints.

KayDee & Santa-Aaron.

Reggie and Sara, adorbs.

Reggie was on a significant amount of Tramadol.

What a hunk-husband-clause. I’m really bummed about my sweater. I ordered a sweater with a cat-wreath on Etsy. They guaranteed it would be here by the time of my party. It wasn’t here Good thing I was prepared with a back up. I still have a cute family. So the day is saved by two hairy children and a bearded husband.

Kamjo, J-Park, and Ellie-Bellie.

    I don’t know what it is about felt, but they LOVE wearing their little felt outfits. They loved it at Halloween, and they loved it again. I should dress them up more often lol

Oh, how cute – I want a ugly sweater party as well (especially liked Ellie-Bellies outfit!)

The ladder you use in the stairs (looks so scary!), is it for stairs, or do you just use a normal one and put it there? We really need something to reach the area over our stairs!

  Kami just got a little girl shirt/dress for Ellie’s outfit lol. The ladder we’re using for the stairs is a Little Giant knock off. It has a hinge system at the top, so you can either unfold it to be a really long straight ladder. Or you can bend it to have it be a normal ladder. It has worked pretty well for our projects so far. Still scary over the stairs. You couldn’t pay me to climb up there.
