A few years ago my mom started the Christmas tradition of Christmas Service Bingo. Starting around November we start keeping track of things we do as a service to others and then at the time we play bingo the amount acts of service we have is how many beans we get to play bingo with to win prizes. Last year us kids added in wearing ugly Christmas Sweaters to play bingo and this year was no exception. Russ didn't want his sweater to look the exact same as last year so he took it upon himself to do a few little "upgrades"!
Having a house this year that we can actually fit a lot of people in-we decided to keep the ugly sweater parties coming and we hosted one for a few of our friends at our house on December 18. We had dinner, white elephant gift exchange, then played one of our favorite games "Heads Up". We're so lucky to have such amazing friends! The party was a success and we loved being able to have people over in our home.
To complete the party we borrowed my mom's work photo props for an impromptu photo booth.
Jenny Pate was in town for Christmas so we took the opportunity to have a surprise baby shower for her and little baby boy. Considering it was the week of Christmas I was surprised at the great turnout! A lot of friends from high school were also in town for Christmas so it worked out perfectly.
