ugly sweaters & sugar plum ferries

The Christmas season is in full force at the Crowls. Despite being in the middle of a huge snow storm all weekend, we managed to still have lots of fun.

Friday night we were supposed to babysit for James while Mark and Jessie went to Mark's work's Christmas party. It ended up getting moved to Jan. We went over there anyway and ate some tasty chicken tenders, played hand & foot, watched a movie called Transiberian (remind me never to take a week long train ride across Russia) and made ice cream sundaes. yum!

Saturday night we went to an ugly Christmas sweater party hosted by our community group leaders. it was a blast! There was a white elephant gift exchange. Here is what we brought.. I stole the idea from this blog Don't worry, Ben & I managed to win most creative sweaters! Here is a shot of our handiwork.. all handmade! yes those are battery operated LED lights coming out of Ben's sweater!


Today we went to church, made some cookies for our neighbors, and went to see the nutcracker at Edmonds Center for the Arts. We really enjoyed the performance! We dont have any pictures to post from the nutcracker because it was like a blizzard outside and we didn't want to stop and take a picture.

And of course, i cant leave the rest of the world wondering how much snow we have accumulated over the past few days. Here is a picture from our apartment parking lot.


ok not really, but we have probably 6-7 inches on the ground.

how fun to see your friends and the sweaters were not too bad.
I totally got hooked on that snow pic. Where did you get that?
