You So Ugly

Friday night our small group hosted an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party. It was a blast!
I could not believe the terrible sweaters everyone wore. I don't even have pictures of half of the couples. I'm hoping we make this a yearly tradition.

I went with my fierce candy cane red nail polish for fullest affect. I borrowed Kayt's hair bow. The joys of having another girl in the house.


 Brad was proud to sport a homemade sweater, lovingly crafted by his Meme. She wore it many years ago and now the family fashion trend continues. Maybe one day we can pass our fashions onto our children. I put a shiny new penny in each of his penny loafers. And he wore my stripped Christmas socks. There were paper thin on his feet, seeing as how I wear a six and he wears a twelve (or thirteen). 







Our super, stylin' husbands.

Hillside's finest. What church wouldn't be proud to employ these fellas?


A few pictures I have of couples at their ugliest:

Sparkmans


Ingrams




Attaways


Soon-to-be Melugins
This is my cousin, Brenna. She is marrying one of our friends on the 19th of December. Aren't they cute? 

Ugliest Sweater Winners...the Beukelmans!

I wanted to show pictures of the CUTE ornament that I stole during the exchange, but blogger isn't cooperating. Maybe later. 
We had such a great time playing games and hanging out. Anyone want to come next year? :)

Oh Lord we all look so ridiculous! Btw, you've gotta see the Jordan & Brenna engagement photo that Jeremy doctored (it's on Facebook). This should definitely be a yearly event!

Ingram Gang said...

It was on Cortona. I've always wondered if you lived in the house on the corner. One day we were over there and I could have sworn I saw your sister in the front yard. Every time I am at our friends hose, I think that I need to ask Ashley were you moved to.
How funny! Next time we are over, we will stop by. :)

Those are some of the funniest pictures!!!! Looks like such a fun party!

My Sister in law, Lauren did our Christmas cards. I think they turned out pretty cute. I got the idea for the design from a card I saw on tinyprints.com... is that where you got yours? In the picture we are roasting Marshmallows. The card reads..

"Merry Christmas. From Ours to S'mores."

Cheesy, I know...but it still makes me laugh. :)

timmons said...

Meg said...

I'm surprised you didn't wear you "Santa's little helper" top from Phi Lamb. They would have matched your knee highs. ;) (hubba hubba) Maybe next year? hee hee

Hey, are you wearing one of my mom's sweaters? She's been looking for it for the past 2 days. When do you think she could get it back? She needs it for the family christmas picture.
