Christmas Party

This weekend our friends Tobi and Jessica hosted the coolest Christmas Party ever. The theme was "Ugly Sweaters", so Madelyn and I made a special trip to Savers to make sure to get the perfect sweater. It was a hilarious evening...

We had a White Elephant where such gifts as a Destiny's Child framed poster, Olivia Newton John's "Let's get Physical" cassette tape, coloring books, and old cookbooks were given. I think we could all agree that the best part of the evening was when Jonathan busted out gifts for EVERYONE.... we all got gift cards to Torchy's Taco's.... the best tacos you've ever tasted. I think he's everyone's best friend today.

Somewhere along the line someone started taking pictures of people in their sweaters in cheesy poses... and eventually we were all getting into it. These are some of the funniest pictures I've seen....

This is me and Madelyn in our sweaters. Madelyn got bonus points for not only finding an ugly sweater, but hers was also Christmas themed.

This is Jonathan and Jarret showing off their sweaters in a wonderful pose they were placed in.

Here is me and Jonathan's Christmas card. Tobi even added some special effects on the picture to give it a little something extra...

Madelyn and Lorena look like two teachers at a holiday party.

Here are the ladyies sporting their amazing sweaters...

This pose was my creation... and this picture will haunt all three of us for the rest of our lives.

Of course there was a ugly sweater contest. Madelyn, Lorena and I all had to participate in a "walk-off". Here I am sporting the tucked in sweater look.

And here's Madelyn sporting her sweater. She clinched the win by showing the crowd her shoulder pads.

Here is Madelyn in celebration of her win...

Here is Madelyn accepting her trophy from the one of the Christmas party committee members...

And here is the trophy in its rightful place on our mantel.
