Ugly sweater party and Hockey!

Ben and I went to a second annual ugly volleyball party a couple weeks back.  Our volleyball friends are such amazing, kind, fun people.  Every single time we are able to hang out with them we always have a blast!

 

Aren't we hot?! :-)

 

The girls!

 

 the guys!

 

 At the party we had a white elephant gift exchange.  I fought for this Vikings Pillow Pet knowing Chelsea would love it.  She does!

 

All three of my nieces play hockey.  We were able to go watch Alyssa play hockey in Alex a couple weeks ago.  The cousins have SO MUCH fun playing together and it's always so heartwarming to get together. Hopefully, in the future, we can get together more often!

Family time!

 

Alyssa's hockey team!

My brother is one of Alyssa's hockey coaches.  Joel played hockey through high school and has a passion for hockey.  I'm so happy that he now has a chance to pass that passion on to his kiddos.

 

We all went to the pizza ranch after Alyssa's game.  Chelsea was in heaven!  Thank goodness there isn't a pizza ranch in Maple Grove or I'd weigh 20 pounds more! Yummy!

 

Our family took over half of the back room :)
