Ugly Sweaters




We thought it would be fun to gather some of our friends and neighbors together this year and do an Ugly Sweater Party. We ended up with a good group of about 20. The goal was to invite some of our friends that don't necessarily know each other very well and strengthen those neighborly bonds. It was a success! We did a vote for ugliest male sweater and ugliest female sweater. It was funny that after the votes were counted that Julie and Zan Hess came out the winners. Julie's award~  the UGLIEST wooden poodle and Zan walked away with a Hang Loose ash tray. Other events of the night were an ugly white elephant gift exchange, impromptu skits and of course lots of good grub.  This just might have to turn into a yearly tradition!
