So, we pretty much had a crazy weekend. It started with baking breakfast for our ward party on Saturday morning. It was a fun time eating with everyone and getting a chance to "sit" on Santa's lap. (Has anyone else thought of how creepy it is that we tell our children that an absolute stranger sneaks down the chimney and into our houses to leave us gifts? This is the same person who also knows when we're sleeping or if we've been bad or good! Like I said, creepy.)
After the ward Christmas breakfast was over, we headed home to clean up and decorate for Christmas. Before Saturday, we had only partially decorated our apartment because our Christmas tree is locked in my sister's attic. Of the 4.5 years they have owned the house, this December happened to be the first time they have lost the key. Knowing it's going to be a while, I went out and got another fake tree. I guess we'll just have two.
Evan and I got all spiffied up for the Ugly Sweeater Party. Evan took some time with a crocheting hook and some pink yarn to make the sweater vest especially nice. He won the ugly sweater contest because of it. We even have the ugly sweater ornament to prove it. I couldn't be more proud.
On Sunday, the Stout clan all attended church together and then endeavored to travel around to 4 different houses in 3 different cities to have a progressive dinner. Because the purpose was to see everyone's Christmas decorations, I was FORCED to decorate our tree. :) It was a good time which ended in a rendition of "Happy Birthday" to me. We all had a good time and enjoyed our progressive dinner. (NOTE: Evan and I had the appetizers: 7 Layer Dip, veggies, spinach-artichoke dip. Snowflake crackers. Awesome.)

Happy Birthday Sarah! I'll be calling you later. :) I love your ugly sweaters, especially the embellishments Evan added. Sounds like it was a fun party.
