ugly sweater party.

yes, that's what i said. an ugly sweater party. pretty much the best christmas party i've ever been to. :)

this is everyone except one latecomer. who you will see in later pictures ;)

and here we have... nathan. he had to come late because of bball practice. and... he didn't bring a sweater. so we kindly gave him one we picked out for him to wear. :)

i think someone was just a bit embarrassed.

matt. with the fuzzy pharoah sweater.

ok so story.

there was once a little baby.

named Derek Simba Luigi.

and Rachel soon discovered that pretty much none of the boys knew how to properly hold a baby.

so she began giving them lessons.

here is elliot after learning primary baby-holding techniques.

notice the hand supporting the back of the head. A+

i am holding Derek Simba Luigi. and Alex is probably being mean. cuz that's what he's best at. and jo-jo is texting. and ashley's face is all gone. :P

so that was pretty much really funny. thanks so much for hosting, Ashy. can't wait for next years. maybe i could have time to hand-knit a sweater by then? we shall see. :)

pc sean for some of these
