tacky christmas sweater party

it's that time of year again.  we are having and hosting christmas parties galore.  i'm loving every bit of it.  our stockings are hung on the tv stand with care [we don't have a mantle] and our tree is lit all a twinkle.  on sunday we had some of our favorite people in the whole wide world over for a christmas sweater party.  we snacked, danced, laughed & and looked ridiculous all night long with our high school friends. 

it really was such a blessing to be together.  our last few clubs of the season felt blah and a few we really weren't able to run.  the point of club is to build relationships and to give a gospel proclaimation and it didn't feel like we were getting to follow through much with either.  this night was a great reminder of just being together.  and being together is awesome.  ben & i love these friends so much & i thank God daily for giving us a heart for them to know Jesus.

yes, my friend is plugged into the wall.  that is real. 

me and my handsome stud of a husband.  ok.  is he not just the most awesome mustached, bill cosby sweatered husband in the whole world?  look at that face.

merry christmas to all!  i hope you are surrounded by people you long to share real Life with.

[ps.  sorry for the poor pic quality.  it was so dark in the house and i always end up making my pics dark, grainy and blurry in this kind of light without a flash whomp whomp]
