Being a Washingtonian I am used to chilly weather with either rain or snow to help get me in the Christmas spirit. So one of the biggest adjustments living in So. California is getting used to the heat in wintertime. I mean I was wearing sandals and t-shirts just like a week ago. (I am sorry I know I shouldn't complain). So I needed some Christmas-y activities to try and help me get in the right mood for the season.
One festivity we partook in was to go again to see the Christmas lights on a street in our town. The whole street is decked out with decorations and LOTS of lights. Its fun to walk down the street looking at the decor. This year we went with our friends the Woolfords and Braziers.

So cute to see Skylar and Boston holding hands... Maybe we should start planning their wedding in like 20 years?
We also threw a small UGLY sweater party with our neighbors. Here are some of the great outfits from the evening. We had fun eating treats, talking, and playing some fun games!

I am sorry this picture was too priceless not to put in... Chris' sweater was a real FIND at Goodwill- it caption was super creative (not)... it said "Rudolph the Red-nosed Rein-cat"
Hope everyone has done fun things themselves to get them in the spirit!
(oh and I guess I got my wish to help me get in the Christmas Spirit... it has been POURING rain non-stop the last 4 days)
