For our annual Christmas party with the McKean family we opted for an ugly sweater theme complete with a contest for the ugliest. We ate delicious soup in bread bowls, played games, exchanged gifts and finished off the night with fondue.
Here are a few of the contestants...
Tony and I searched high and low for Christmas sweaters but to no avail. We went with the classic tie dye and toys 'r' us kid sweaters from my childhood.
We found this little gem at D.I. I saw it from afar and knew we had to own it. Indie ended up winning the contest because of it.
Another shirt from my childhood, although this one I don't consider ugly, just hilarious. I found this Rainbow Brite shirt while rummaging through our old doll clothes. I promptly pulled it out and hung it in Eden's closet.
Parker had his hair parted to the side, it really added to his circa 1987 sweater.
Jessica, looking classy in her gold leaf Christmas apparel.
Annelee in a rather cute sweater, not quite ugly enough to win.
Greg was feeling the Christmas spirit in a duo that looked like he pulled it right from my great aunt's closet. Sparky took another route. He decided to tease all the Ute lovers in the family by wearing red. I'll be honest, Tony had the same idea but couldn't find a BYU sweatshirt in time.

I believe this is the only picture we have of our entire family. I guess it's okay we are wearing ugly sweaters and crowns.

I love the idea of having an ugly sweater party. Indie for sure rocked hers. I also love that you said Hell in your post! We will have to start a girls golf club and make the men take us when they go.

Love Indie rocking the sweater and my shoes! Love your little family pic! Love "Rainbow Eden!" The story behind that find is the best part! That was a fun and memorable evening.

I too love that you said HELL in your post! Any girl who will be able to hit like Hell with that new driver should be able to say it.
Love you and the laughter this brought me at the end of a long day. SGFU !!
What a great party. Ugly sweater party's truly are the best. I need to learn to golf so I can say "hell" on my blog.
