Ugly Sweater Parties

We got invited to a couple of awesome ugly sweater parties this year.

At the "Dinner Club" party, we had a big, yummy breakfast- so really it was Breakfast Club this time.

Then we had a "Last Snowman Standing competition". I didn't bring any snow clothes, so I didn't participate but it looked like so much fun!

Each team builds their snowman.

Their snowman/pile.
The team Scott, Markham, Neil, Heather snowman.

Then each person took a turn throwing a ball at the other team's snowman, trying to destroy it.

After 3 rounds, each team had only hit the opposite snowman 1 time. Markham (who happened to be a state champion hammer thrower in high school) destroyed the other snowman on his first throw.

Aaron T knocked the head off of this guy.

And this is what happened after the Double Blake, Aaron, Jason team lost.

Then, Jason put together a Christmas movie trivia game.

Then it was time for the Ugly Sweater fashion show.

Mine- you can't see my jewelry, unfortunately. I'm wearing a beautiful ceramic Christmas light bulb necklace and matching earrings.

And I'm missing pics of everyone else's sweet sweaters. Anyways, it was great!

Our other Ugly Christmas Sweater party was tons of fun too!

We took a group picture- awkward family photo style

We did gag white elephant gifts. Joe was stoked about his yo yo- he actually did some really awesome tricks!

We got to play some games.
Catch Phrase is always a classic!

Showing off the sweaters.

I won this contest- I think it's just because of the HUGE amount my mom paid for this sweater back in the day!
