Ugly Sweater Christmas Party!

My friends and I had an Ugly Sweater Christmas party. There were some pretty ugly sweaters. I got mine at Ross and it was like a half sweater. It was like they got bored making it and just stopped. We all agreed it would have been even better had I not worn anything under it, but no one wants to see that. It would have turned into a white trash ugly sweater party. We had it at Jaime's house and she of course went all out. She made a really yummy gluten-free potato soup and really pretty cranberry punch. She also had hot chocolate complete with whipped cream, marshmellows, and chocolate sprinkles. Allie loved it! We did a cookie exchange and my friends were nice enough to make sure all the goodies were gluten-free. Thanks ladies! You don't know how much it means to me! We also watch Elf. Will Ferrell cracks me up! We drew names so it was fun seeing what everyone got for their secret santa. Ok, it wasn't really secret, but that's what we called it. Jaime's mom is like our "Nursing School Mom" so we had to get her something. We got her a wine glass and had "Cocktail Queen" engraved on it, along with "Love, your nursing chicks" since she has been called our mother hen. Jaime made this gorgeous scrapbook shadow box of Allie looking at pumpkins for me. I love it! You are so talented Jaime! It says, "The Best Pick in the Patch". Allie is definitely our best pick in the patch.

Allie's ugly sweater

purchased from

Goodwill for only

$0.99. I guess it

would have been

cute in the early

90's with matching

green sweatpants.

My friends are always

spoiling Allie. She's

so lucky to have them.

They got her this

princess table and chairs

for Christmas. She loves

them! She likes to color,

eat, and have tea parties

at it.

We love you

Craig!

These next pictures are the ones Allie took. She figured out how to push the button. They cracked us up because apparently this is Allie's and most little kids view of the world. They see a lot of bums I guess.

This one was our

very favorite. How

often do we bend

down to talk to

little kids and give

them cheesy smiles?

Is this what we look

like to them??
