11 on 11, with one to grow on

Pics from my seester-in-law's baby shower:

While we were all downstairs, Averi and Maci were upstairs "washing" Maci's hair for the "party...in the park...for Grammy."  So funny.

 

Merry Christmas sweater!

Last night Gabe and I went to our church's ugly sweater Christmas party.  I had to force Gabe to wear his for the picture.  Most of the night he just wore a t-shirt.  My ensemble was a two-piece set.  Each sweater had its own shoulder pads, hence the football player look.  The sweater underneath very much resembled a sequins figure-skater's costume, and the outer cardigan was covered in beads. Note the zipper tassel---a separate beaded stocking that hung from the zipper.  No detail was forgotten on this little number.  I narrowly won a Starbuck's gift card for my sweaters.

Cassie had to borrow her sweater from a co-worker (elementary school teacher) while keeping the "cause" a secret so as not to offend.  Amanda's sweater was awful and this picture really doesn't do it justice.  Keri  has a gold sequined, white fur stocking sewn onto a fake red velvet shirt.  Need I say more?
