It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Can you tell Parker was up past bedtime? He would only take the picture sitting in his chair and refused to smile. We had just come home from the church Christmas party where I won for "ugliest Christmas sweater". I don't think my sweater was really the worst, but I did have a good story behind it. The judges said it was the poinsettia turtleneck that really pushed it my way.
I asked my mom who was going over to my grandma's house to grab a sweater for me the day before the party. My mom told my grandma that everyone at the party was supposed to wear a Christmas themed sweater, and thought I might fit into one of hers since I'm pregnant. My sweet grandma insisted my mom take several sweaters for me to choose from, some of which she was going to wear to a party of her own but wanted me to have the first choice. This is when I started to feel bad because the other sweaters were actually quite nice and she was giving them up for me. My mom called my grandma the morning of the party to tell her I chose a sweater and she could wear the other ones to her party. She told my mom that if I liked the sweater that I picked out so much, I could just keep it! Yeah, I kinda feel bad. But maybe I can justify it by telling myself she is better off with that sweater out of her wardrobe. By the way, Parker's sweater and turtleneck came from Goodwill, I love that place! Brett was off studying for finals, we miss him a lot lately.

In pj's, watching Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer by the Christmas tree...perfect!
