Christmas Cards

As I mentioned in my previous post, my sister is a very talented photographer. With the holidays upon us, she is once again doing photo Christmas cards and this year I designed some of them for her! Here is a sneak peak at some of my favorites:

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

The Monson Family

Once again I am so grateful to have a photographer for a sister. She took some family pictures at my parent's house a couple of weeks ago. Aren't we cute - the kiddos have almost outnumbered the adults.

Thank you Emily!! She is awesome - check out her photography blog HERE

More Halloween Festivities

We had a lot of fun this Halloween. Here are some of our lovely family members in costume:

NINJA CHAD

 A BAKER and A BUN IN THE OVEN (Gold star for creativity and effort)

 BARB as a WITCH

 JEFF & ELIZA JANE the JESTERS

TENNIS PLAYER and CHEERLEADER 

In search of a Halloween costume, the night before a party, I happened upon this little number in one of my parent's closets. Yep, it is Vera Gene's Bear River cheerleading uniform!! For some reason I had never seen this before and was thrilled to find it, but even more thrilled that it actually fit! Yay mom - thank you for the awesome costume!

 I stole these last two pictures from Eliza and Jeff's blog - they had a super fun fondue party with some of her friends. It was awesome, except for the scary movie (that was not scary) picked out by Erik and I. 

 NOW.... On to the true holiday season!!!

Murder Mystery

One of Erik's friends always throws a murder mystery party for Halloween. This year we were supposed to dress from the 40's and for Erik that = straightened hair.  Not sure why, but it was a fun experiment. It took about 30 min. to tame his curls and I'm proud to present the finished product:

***Disclaimer: the cigarette was all part of his character. Don't want anyone thinking the Ingebrigtsens are experimenting with new lifestyles.
Now, the real question - have we found Erik's celebrity look-alike?
Unfortunately, no luck on my side of things. Dream on, right!

Stay tuned to "E" for this season's new hit, "Keeping Up with the Ingebrigtsens" :)


Anyway - back to the murder mystery. I'm always hesitant about these parties because of the fact that they can really put you outside of your comfort zone, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. It was all based around the murder of a movie producer, so we all had to find a team with a producer, director and actors and then at the end we had to act out a scene from our movie. I'm very proud to say that I was on the winning team.

Here is a shot of the whole group:

And some couple shots - sorry some of them are blurry.

Some very impressive costumes - Erik and I weren't nearly as creative as most.
