Right before bed after we read the Christmas story in the Bible, our girls wanted to snuggle up with Dad and do one of their favorite things; READ. I just love these pictures because I see this little scene everyday and my heart falls a little bit more in love with this husband of mine.
Its tradition in our family to get new jammies for Christmas and I was so excited when I saw my mom had sent these along with all the other Christmas packages. I LOVE the girls pants she made, they are wide leg with the cutest pink ruffle along the bottom, and Chad and I lived in ours for a couple of days they are so soft.
Tonight as I was driving the girls around big houses looking for good christmas lights, we found a truly AMAZING one off of Palisade Drive right above the Riverbottoms and as Lily is looking at it she says, "Wow, mom I really feel like its Christmas right NOW!!" and "It's so beautiful I just can't even believe my eyes" and "I want to live in this Winter Wonderland" all while Ella is just saying "Look Yeh-Ye (Lily), yights!!! Tees!! Yights!" (Lights, trees) over and over.
We had been talking with some friends about doing an ugly sweater party and our friends the Whalens did an awesome job hosting it at their house. So I picked up these little beauties at Savers and you would be surprised at the poor selection of ugly sweaters! I completed my winter snowflake collared sweater with jingle bell earrings, ugly 90's hair, and red peep toed shoes with socks! Chad went a bit over the top and actually shaved his head to make him look bald with a tiny comb over and complete with a sick stache! Its really scary how GOOD we looked being UGLY!
We did white elephant gifts and we scored a Snuggie, and a carseat (I know we made out like Bandits) We also won a prize for best outfits (Pretty sure because of Chad's dedication to character). SO much FUN!
