December Happenings

We're all decorated and trying to feel the spirit of Christmas, but I'm having a hard time keeping up with these two and all their messes.  This happened after leaving them alone together for less than 5 minutes:

Last weekend we had the ward Christmas party and Brandon informed me that the Elder's Quorum was supposed to have some sort of Ugly sweater contest, but once we got there we couldn't really tell who was participating or who really just wore ugly sweaters without intending to.  So there wasn't really any contest, and we're the only ones that dressed "festively".  We thought we were pretty funny, and so did the three other people in the ward that knew we weren't being serious.  Everyone else was basically awkward to us, which made us laugh.  Brandon kept saying, "If I had known that we were supposed to wear an ugly sweater, I would have gone all out!" (while wearing a red turtleneck and green blazer).  My sweater was amazing (thank you, Verna Perkinson!) and Brandon found a green blazer at some thrift shop.  And I didn't realize Bubba's shirt was so small and tight until looking at this picture (although this was taken after pie and refreshments).  :)
