Ugliest Christmas Outfit

IMG_3097While on traveling to Colorado Springs, I happened to be in town during Bristol Brewing Company’s Christmas Ale release party, which included an Ugly Christmas Outfit contest.

I hit up the local thrift stores for ugly Christmas sweaters, but I had no luck. So, plan B was to make something. I found a tacky tree skirt and made a shirt and shorts for the party. The hotel front desk was able provide me a bunch of hotel sewing kits and a good pair of scissors. It took me a little over an hour and half to make them. I was hoping for pants, but it was enough work just getting a shirt and shorts. Also, I had already used up 3 or 4 sewing kits. I couldn’t see asking for even more kits.

The brewing staff loved the outfit. I won what they called “Free Beer for a Year”, which is actually just 24 growler fills and a growler bottle. And, a bomber of the Bristol Christmas Ale and pint glass with a Laughing Lab logo.

UAH Duck Pond

The weather was wonderful so we went to the UAH Duck Pond to feed the ducks, which are actually mainly geese.

They went crazy when they saw the amount of food that we brought with us.

Bubbles, Bubbles, everywhere Bubbles

Katie Beth is having a blast in the tub. You may not see her, but she is in there somewhere. I may have let the bubbles get out of hand a bit. The red dots are soap confetti hearts from our Walt Disney World trip from last month.

Bath time is always a fun time for her. Katie Beth could stay in the tub for hours and hours without the fun ending for her. I know she will be asking for bubbles for the next few weeks at bath time.
