A Belated Happy Holidays!

It's been longer than I thought since I have last posted. I guess that's what happens when things get busy with interviews and the holidays! I hope everyone is enjoying a nice Christmas break with family and friends. This year was a fun year for us - the theme at our family Christmas Eve was ugly holiday attire. The new cool thing is ugly holiday sweater parties. Ugly sweaters are quite the hot commodity on ebay - oftentimes selling for $20+. We went to the thrift store and did the best we could for ugly attire.

We found my mom a turtleneck covered in Christmas presents and a shirt with lots of dangle ball things hanging off of it. My shirt - which is hard to tell it's full tackiness, is ribbed in red glitter and is a little too short for me. The best part is that someone cut the sleeves which are completely uneven and aren't even close to matching. My mom and I made earrings out of small stick on bows for presents and I had a tinsel necklace, which didn't last the entire nigth because it made my neck itch too much! Dad's vest we ended up ironing on some old material pieces we had and quickly sewed on some jingle bells.

Here's a beautiful family picture from the event!

And the best for last - my Aunt Edwina!



As usual it was a fun-filled evening, filled with laughter, love, and good food.
Wishing you and yours a belated happy and safe holiday!
