Christmas festivities

Christmas couldn't come fast enough at our house this year! Britlyn and I were so anxious to put up the decorations. I think it is probly my favorite holiday. I love it! Britlyn is so fun during the holidays too. She is totally into them and gets so excited and talks about em for weeks. She helped me decorate the tree and put up the christmas lights. She is always looking for something she can be doing so we had to do a few Christmas activities to keep her busy :)

After we got the tree up, Luke crawled under there for some reason, and then the kids thought that was a fun idea
Decorating the tree. We could only do it half way up this year :) Kolten still managed to pull a few off and they are now ever so pretty with teeth marks in them :)
Here is the kids playing under the tree


One of the things we did was make sugar cookies and frost them. We actually did this a couple times :)

The finished product



Luke and I had an ugly sweater party at our house! We had tons of food and everyone came up with some pretty ugly sweaters! It was fun to see them all. The kids had a blast playing together and we had a fun time playing games. I was bummed we didn't do any awards, but I will let you judge for yourself the ugliest sweaters :) They were all pretty good...
The Maughans and their killer sweaters :) Even Henslee got dressed up
(Luke actually wanted Jesse's plum purple pants :) haha )

The trythalls and their ugly sweaters
Johnson girls...Nick thought hunting would be more fun :)
The Davis's... Love Jason's sweater :)
19 weeks
I thought I would just throw this in here since I haven't been very good at documenting this pregnancy! This one is actually FLYING by and its making me nervous. lol, im not sure I can handle three kids but we are super super excited to meet this little guy! Luke finally felt the baby kick. We hadn't really ever tried but it was about 19-20 weekswhen we did and he actually felt it. I love it when they get to start feeling it. Then it seems more real to him too. We just might FINALLY have a name, I love to have names picked out cuz it makes me feel like I can bond better. I don't like calling it "him" or "the baby", we like to call them by name. It has taken me a while to get used to the fact that we are actually having another baby, but since we have come up with a name and since he kicks me CONSTANTLY especially at night, it has made it all seem alot more real and I am SUPER excited about him getting here. 17 more weeks :)

Okay so your sweater is hideous, but seriously you looked good in it! How do you do things like that, Shi? :) Cute idea for the party. And I LOVE your Christmas card. That's adorable.
