Ugly Sweater and Karaoke Party!



I have always wanted to go to an ugly sweater party and this year our friends had one. We borrowed Marion's (my mother in law) Christmas sweaters that she seriously used to wear, although, thankfully, not anytime recently! She also let me use some of her 'serious' Christmas earrings! These things were huge and they looked super crafty!
We also sang karaoke and had a blast! Once I got warmed up, I thought I would never leave the Todd's house! In this picture the guys are really getting their groove on! Believe me, they had some awesome moves and who knew they could sing so well to Britney Spears? We ate, exchanged some quality White Elephant gifts, and have one great night! Thanks everyone and let me know who is doing karaoke... I am SO there!

Tag is 4! and other festivities!

Yesterday my little guy turned four! He has been looking forward to this for quite some time and we were happy when they day finally arrived. We didn't do a whole lot on his actual birthday, since it was on Sunday, but I felt like we celebrated it for over a week!
First of all, last weekend we went up north to spend some time with my family. We celebrated Christmas with Jason and Claudia and their kids, since we won't see them on Christmas. We went to see some Christmas lights with the kids and here they are all bundeled up. We are not used to the cold, so this was our first time breaking out the winter gear.

We celebrated all of the December birthdays while we were up there, Mine, Tag's, Grandma's, and Boston's.

It was fun to celebrate them all together and Tag was sooo excited with all his presents. We made a cake and split it into four spots for everyone to have their own little cake.


Then this weekend his Grammy and Grandpy came down from Salt Lake and celebrated with us. On Saturday we started the day off with Jumpin Jacks, which is one of Tag's favorite places. Then we had lunch at Del Taco, another of his favorite spots. Then we opened presents and had cake. Then finished the day off with a movie. He has such fun day and was so funny opening his presents. He was so excited opening each gift and he was just 'OOOh and aaaah' and kept saying, "are you kidding me?" It was hilarious!
He wanted a Batman cake, so that is what he got. He only eats the frosting (sounds like me huh?) and he loved blowing out his candles.
He finally got his car/dinasour which he has been asking for for a few months. He was so happy with his playdough, paint set, dragon/car set, gun, new clothes, and especially his new flight coat which his granpy bought for him. Thanks so much everyone for the gifts!
I can't believe he is four! He is such a big boy and has gotten to be so much fun! We love you Mr. T and are excited for many more birthdays!!
