Lookin Good

A few years back John and I hosted an ugly Christmas Sweater Party. It was fantastic; we made a Christmas craft, played Christmas carols on my chimes, ate cookies, drank hot coco and wassail, and took a "family picture" of all in our fabulous digs.

Because of Mr. Tullis's crazy school/final schedule I have not been able to have my beloved party for the past two years. I was optimistic this would be the year it would make a come back but alas my cousin is getting married on the one day available.

Which brings me to my point, last Friday night was our church Christmas party, John had a final from 6:30 -9:30 pm (I know right?) so I would be going solo. That morning I was telling him I didn't know what I would wear. He then, in a moment of brilliance, suggested I wear one of my new ugly Christmas sweaters. I called up a few friends and convinced them to join in on the fun. Thanks guys for humoring me.

Behold the sweaters....

* while we were taking this picture an older lady came and took a picture with her camera...she thought we all looked so good.*

I really went all out. Leggings, Christmas tree earrings, matching red & green penguin socks with black flats. Some people knew it was a joke, others (60 yrs. +) thought I looked cute, and a few were confused or too embarrassed to look at me-SUCCESS

Get your sweaters ready now because next year, my friends, our party will be off the hook!
