5th annual Dirty.....SANTA!...party!

WOW!

This year.....

I would say my annual Dirty Santa party has grown!

I love seeing the new faces each year....as well as the friends and family that have been to them since the beginning! I love how everyone who came holds a special part in my heart and how all of our friendships hold unique and fun meanings! I am truly blessed for sure! SUCH a fun night to kick off Christmas!!

This is by far one of my most favorite nights of the whole year!

There was a ton of food! Mexican chicken dip, chicken salad, Frito pie, bbq winnies, fruit Santas, jalapeno corn dip, caramel apple surprise, pasta salad and more! :) YUM!
The goodness! :)
The drink table.
Allll the desserts! Everyone kept asking me if I made the petit fors...............ummm....I wish! I will cook all day long...but bake..or make cakes, pies, etc..........nope! :)
I had everyone write their Elf name! It was super cute and fun to see everyone's name! Loved this!
31! We had 31 gifts during the Dirty Santa game!  SOOO fun!
Before Dirty Santa..... I had 6 volunteers to play Snowman poop challenge! This was super funny because everyone kept calling out 'rules' and it was hilarious! :)
So fun! Notice........any cheating!?!?!
What was soooo funny was Ashley {pictured above with her cup turned over} claimed that out of the cazillion rules everyone was yelling out....that no one said that you couldnt turn your cup over. Well....I thought I said that....but none the less...she won! Well since she technically 'cheated!!' :) :) Even though she says she didnt....... there was a FACE-OFF between Meg and her {because Meg actually won without cheating!} :)
So FACE-OFF!...Ashley won again! :) She cracked me up because she somehow got all of her marsh mellows stuck to her chop sticks and then just stuck her chop sticks in the cup! SCORE! Poor Meg was still working on her like number 6 {out of 15} marsh mellows to pick up! haha!! :) So fun!
Then....Trivia time! This picture cracks me up because everyone took this sooooo seriously! There was not a word said because everyone was in deep thought! ha! TOOOO funny! It was hilarious to hear everyone's answers to the Christmas Trivia! :)
And....Twinkle McJingles was the Trivia Queen! :)
 Yeah......soooooo some certain co-workers of mine decided to be REALLY funny and print off a TON of these pictures of me and stick them in all of the Dirty Santa gifts! BOY....arent they just SO funny! :) They all like to make fun of me and my hair! This one was hilarious because my sweet friend Yseyelle chose this one and her sweet sweet and beautiful daughter, Bella, found a perfect spot on her tree for this new ornament.............with my picture in it! She sent me a picture of it on the tree and I HOPE that she took my advise and changes out the picture and doesnt keep me in it! :)

Sweet Collins and her Mommy came! She was sooo good the whole time! Wouldnt have even known a baby was there!!
Love this group!
Family picture!
Crazy crew!
Sweet friends!
This was a funny moment! Nannie gave Meg and Mal these singing and swinging Snowmen! TOOO funny! Nannie loves some dancing stuffed things! Luckily she gave me a wooden Santa and Mrs. Claus! I love them! :)
This little sassy pants came up from the basement! Yep....I shipped Daddy, Lex and Lily downstairs during the party! :)
After everyone left....Holly hung around and she ended up pulling out Alexis' tooth! haha! No doubt she had no idea she would be doing that after a party! :)
The tooth fairy had to visit quick since at this point when this picture was made....it was almost 9:45pm! The tooth fairy had to come up with some quick cash! :)

Oh that Elf!....

Ella Jingle has been very......very busy here at our house lately!

Here are just a few things she has been up to! :) :)

Ella Jingle decided to put Lily's underwear on my tree! Lily thought this was the funniest thing she has evvvvvver seen!!! Alexis said 'Oh my goodness, that is disgusting!' :) haha!
Then one day, Ella Jingle really really wanted to go to school with them! On this day also, Alexis was SOOOO excited about her field trip that day to see the Nutcracker! She loved it!
On this day....Ella Jingle brought the girls a new t-shirt! Super cool! :)
And....on this day!.....Ella Jingle decided to put Alexis' underwear on my little white tree! Again.....Lily thought this was the funniest thing ever...especially since Alexis thought it was so disgusting the first time! ha!
Two little girls and one silly Ella Jingle before school! :)

Introducing...Division Supreme and Division Queen!

Whew.....

we made it through our very 1st Semi Glitz pageant!....

and to say it was something else....

it was something else!

It was an experience for sure! All of the fake hair, fake tans......kissy faces, dance moves....

OH, I have laughed and laughed!

I am glad that we tried a semi-glitz just to see what it was all about, but I have to say, I dont see them in our future!

I can only imagine actual glitz pageants! WOW! :)

The girls had SO much fun and they did SO awesome so it was all worth it in the end!

This marks Lex's 4th pageant and Lily's 2nd!

Mrs. Bethany {a great friend from Church} did their hair...bright and early yesterday morning! :)
Lily is done and ready! :)
Waiting to get dressed and watching all the fake hair being put on! It was sooo funny watching the girls watch the process. I mean really!.....little 2 year olds in diapers with a head full of fake curls! :)
Sooo beautiful! She was ready to go! She kept being little miss sassy pants and kept saying 'I am not doing 'kissy faces'...I am not waiving! She didnt...she held true to herself...and she won! So proud of her! :)

Loved her curls!
So sweet!
She shined up on stage!
This picture is priceless! Right when she was done.....she headed to Pawpaw for some gum! That girl!
Meg, Mal and LaLa came to watch the girls!
Nan and Pawpaw love this little one!
Daddy's girl!

Mal went on stage to help her with her HUGE crown! It is bigger than her head! :)
Division Supreme right here! She also won 'Best Dress' also! She has only been in 2 pageants and won this both times! With both dresses, she has saw it.....not wanted to try on any others and knew which one sh wanted! She has some great taste!!
She was sooooo excited to pick out the ginormous thing at the winners table!
My only shot I got with them both in their dress!
Her turn! She was soooo beautiful!
So grown up!

Oh what fun!...

Oh what fun it was to ride....

on the back of a trailer!......

The girls had a blast tonight at the Jacksonville Christmas parade.

The weather actually felt like December.....and like a Christmas parade.

It wasnt too bad though so we had a great and fun night!

There was a HUGE crowd this year!

This year was the biggest crowd that I have seen.

Everyone seemed to be in the Christmas spirit and were really enjoying the parade!

The girls sang Christmas songs, did chants, waived at people they knew and threw candy galore!

Lily sat and watched with Daddy, Nan and Pawpaw.

You talk about loading UP on candy!

OH my GOODNESS!!!.............her bucket was over flowing when we got home!

Lily was ready for the parade!
B-Team!!
Waiting on it to start....and eating all the candy while they waited! :)
Cocky came to say hello!!!
 Love these girls!
 This crew had so much fun!
 We hauled it behind the trailer! Whew!!!.....  :)
Santa! This is my favorite picture because they were all in it with him! :)
Saw these people along the way!
Then the girls started throwing candy at them! I had to remind the girls to throw the candy on the ground.....and not at people's faces!!!
They all had a blast! The big crowd had fun catching all of their candy they threw!
