Dinner Party!

Last night I was invited to a wonderful dinner party at a dear friends who is leaving for two weeks (lame families that live far away jk) it was a lot of fun we did the good old potluck style dinner and it turned out fabulous (minus my salad that's a whole story by its self) we ate lots of delicious food and had wonderful conversation with lots of laughter involved...and of course graham cracker houses were involved;) I have the best friends I am so blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!

the hostess!!!! (it was freezing in her house so this coat stayed on pretty much the whole time)

my plus one! (our men get home Saturday eeeek so excited)

these two make me laugh so much!

our one and only normal picture all the girls

have to do silly faces its a must!

Friday i went with my mom, brother, crazy kiddos (nephew and niece) to the nativities around the world. we usually just walk around and look at them but this year we dressed up in the fun little costumes...i had no choice as to who i was going to be my mom voted for me be to Mary. Caiden and Bailey were unsure about all the business but they ended up loving it and not wanting to take off their costumes hahah. after we took our picture and made a small coloring project we headed home where i left right after to go back to meet some friends to take yet another picture and walk around it was a lot of fun we had a little to much fun with it and were laughing the whole time so the picture is slightly terrible but oooh well.

ugly sweaters

Saturday night i was invited to an ugly sweater party it was so much fun! I adore my friends they are so entertaining and make me laugh for hours and hours so of course throwing in ugly sweaters makes the times way better:) I wasn't able to find an ugly sweater anywhere so i had to resort to making one.....i found it to be hideous but my parents and Andrew disagreed hahah they said it wasn't terribly ugly....and Andrew was more emotional that i ruined an amazing sweater (no worries its all tacked on I plan on wearing it with out all the crap) everyone else however said it was pretty atrocious. At the party we made graham cracker house which are always my favorite then we did madlibs until ridiculous hours in the morning. It was definitely a wonderful saturday night:)

liz, whitney, and I rocking the sweaters

our town of houses!

It is freezing today which means a blog post is in order because i refuse to leave my warm abode anymore...no really its freezing it so beautiful though i hurried outside when i got home to get pictures of the magicalness before i froze. i love frost but i hate it as well it looks so pretty but with frost comes bitter cold. we also have fog which means when you walk outside you feel like you are getting pelted with ice cubes talk about rude.

but it really is breath taking. It makes me feel like I really am walking in a winter wonderland:)

FINALLY finished!!!!!!

Yes yes I finally FINALLY finished recovering the car seat! That things gave me a run for my sewing experiences I love how it turned out though...after resewing portions no joke 10 times, along with hand stitching the whole visor (that was a pain), and stabbing my fingers with needles and the seam ripper an unmentionable number of times I can finally give it to a very pregnant lady:) She is due the first week of January (we are hoping for the 7th because clearly that's the best day;)

I didn't take too many picture of the before i mainly have pictures of seams just so i knew how to put it back together and boy was i glad i did that it really helped me (even though I did sew things upside down 4 times)

the visor was the BIGGEST pain i ended up sewing the whole thing by hand just because it was impossible with the piping it was annoying!
