The Uglier the Sweater...the Better the Party

I finally got to have my 
UGLY SWEATER CHRISTMAS PARTY!!

For years it's something I've wanted to host
and this year we finally made it happen.
At the last minute we moved the festivities from our home to the ward building.
We wanted to make sure there was room for everyone.
It turned out to be a very good decision.

The kids enjoying the 
Hot Chocolate Bar
(no picture of that....but it was delish)
Every topping you could imagine,
marshmallows, whip cream, Butterfingers, crushed candy cane, mint....
Pure awesomeness!


The Gents.


Tanner ~ Stuart
Chris ~ Derek ~ Jon

Games for the Littles.
Ellen always does the best job!
Even the Daddy's got in on the action.


 Holiday Pictionary.


Fox and Kai
They found a
"quiet spot" 
behind the Christmas tree!
BFF's


Sai 
taking a break
from the action!
He loved sitting behind the tree!
I loved that he loved sitting there!


The women folk


Cecibel, Emily,Kelle, ME, Ellen, Amy
(and assorted beebies)


The ceremonial pinata!
No Norton party is complete without a pinata!
Bubba taking a swing!


Logan having a whack!


Per usual, the head always comes off.
Minor surgery by Tanner and Derek.


Bubba having another whack at the now 
headless snowman.


 Candy!!!!!!!!


My partners in crime.
Couldn't have pulled it off without these ladies!!


It's pretty amazing what you can transform a church gym into!!
Relaxing in the
  'lounge'.


Tanner....being, well, Tanner!


Another shot....only because it's proof that these guys
 actually had fun!
Tanner excluded, it was pretty hard talking the rest of them 
into wearing a festive sweater for the occasion!!
I even embellished Chris' sweater with
 bells!!
Never have too many bells!


It was a fun night!
Everyone brought something yummy to eat,
 we laughed, played games, 
let the littles run themselves ragged and kicked off the 
Holiday Season
 in spectacular fashion!!
