9th Annual Christmas Costume Party

It's hard to believe that we've had 9 Christmas Costume Parties already! Even though planning a party with a 6-week-old isn't the smartest thing I've ever done, I'm glad we didn't forego the awesomeness!

Host and hostess... the first year that I took the easy way out and dressed in a sweater instead of in a costume. The sweater was super awesome though so I didn't feel too bad!

The Peng family, complete with their newly adopted daughter Lily!

Kirstie and Tony- man I wish this picture did Tony's sweater justice. It was THE UGLIEST THING I have ever seen!

The Dowd family as "4 Calling Birds"

How do you disguise a 8-month pregnant belly? Dress it up as a snowy hillside and call yourself Christmas Eve!

Sugerplum fairies were definitely a trend of the night!

3 Little Kittens who lost their mittens

In case you were wondering where I get my love for dressing up and having parties, look no further!

Arielle, Adrie, and the 2nd place winner, George!

Grand prize winner, Elijah the Shepherd!

Of course there were lots and lots more festively dressed people that I didn't take pictures of. Oh well. Thanks for coming everyone! And if you didn't come this year, you DEFINITELY should come next time for the 10th annual!
