UGLY sweater party

Last Saturday we had an UGLY Christmas Sweater Party at our house.  It was so much fun to have everyone out.  The little Carter man made his rounds, while I spent the night chasing Lily around making sure she wasn't causing tooo much trouble.  We only had to call the emergency vet once in the middle of the party since she ate a whole special K bar.  And those of you who know my mom's special K bar recipe...who could blame her :)  S

he spent a lot of her time over by the keg as well....we may have to have an intervention.  We had a ton of fun with family and friends and we were so glad to have everyone out.  

Merry Christmas everyone...and oh...for those of you who have been following my friend Martha's blog (the klopp quads) they just lost little James.  So please keep them in  your thoughts and prayers this holiday season, those little girls need tons of positive thoughts sent their way in the NICU.

Here are some pics from the party....pretty ugly huh??

Its the most wonderful time of the year!

It has always been a tradition for my family to go and cut down our christmas tree.  I love the smell of real trees and it is just so much fun to go and pick one out!  Josh of course has to do all the work....so I don't know how much he enjoys cutting our own tree :)  This year we got two...one for our main level and one for our newly finished basement!

The little man had a good time too!

The tree downstairs will be the 'kid tree.'  It has all of our ornaments from when we were little and some of Carter's first ornaments!

Lily found her favorite spot...she also drinks all of my water from under the trees
