Christmas Sweater Party 2009

Whoot! Whoot! The Rigg's 3rd annual sweater party did not disappoint. There were ugly sweaters and creative homemade sweaters. There was great food, friends, and spirits. Sadly I wasn't able to enjoy the yummy jello shots floating around, but there is always next year.

Normally Ian would have loved to make his own sweater but there just wasn't time this year. Thank goodness for women's plus sized ugly Christmas sweaters. I think he looks sexy in his poinsettia sweater, even if it is a girls.

Thank you to the Rigg's family for inviting us and we look forward to next years sweater party.

The Great Christmas Tree Hunt

This was the third year Ian and I went Christmas tree hunting in hope of cutting down the perfect Christmas tree. This year a lot of other people had the same idea and finding that perfect tree became quite the challenge. In fact at one point we thought we had found our tree but decided to check one other area before committing. Not the greatest idea because when we returned all we found was a fresh tree stump where our ideal tree had once stood. Always go with your first instinct. In the end we still found a great tree. Thankfully Ian brought his battery powered saw, if only he had checked to make sure the battery was fully charged. But this is Ian and he found a way to make it work. With our Christmas tree in hand, we found Santa for a holiday picture and were off to start decorating. Merry Christmas!!!
