Our darling friends, the Williams, held an "ugly sweater" Christmas party last weekend.
Of course I was thrilled with the holiday festivity!
Unfortunately, the thrift stores here were flat out of ugly sweaters.
So, I had to get creative.
James had thrown out his real ugly sweater after I made him wear it on Christmas Eve last year.
{Pretty sure it was his protection against being forced to wear it again in the future}
He opted for a green sweater with a scarf at the last minute.
But that was just not going to do the trick for me.
So I found this beauty at Target.
And I must admit...
I am hooked.
It is so cozy!
James says it will be the perfect ensemble for when I am breast feeding.
But I think after a few days of him coming home to me looking like this he would beg to differ.
After a few moments of watching me snuggle up by the tree wearing this giddy-up
James was terribly sad he wouldn't let me buy him a pair!
I made a big splurge for this party.
I must admit - I am craving cheese!
I just needed my Mom's brie cheese with caramel.
It wasn't a want.
It was a need.
Need the recipe?
2 triangles of brie cheese
{pasteurized if you are pregnant of course}
1/2 bottle of Caramel Syrup.
Place the brie in the oven.
Cook until melty.
{About 10 minutes}
Pour on the caramel.
Cook for another minute or two.
Cut up bread or open crackers for dipping.
And viola!
Holiday goodness.
My advice: take it to a party so that you don't eat a good portion of it.
This stuff is so tasty.
Your mouth will thank me.
Sadly I didn't get a picture of everyone at the party.
But here are a few I snapped.
The darling hosts.
They are moving to Colorado in February and we are terribly sad to see them go.
The Vichikov's
The Attig's
The Garcia's
Sad I didn't get everyone.
But sure glad we had a big gathering!
We played "the newlywed" game for non-newlyweds.
You know, what was your last kiss like,
your spouses clothing you'd like to give away etc.
Thanks to the Attig's questions we were all in stitches laughing.
It was a perfect evening to help kick off our holiday season.
And in case you can't tell...
I am still madly in love with this character of mine.
Never a dull moment with this guy!
