Friday night was Joe & Kiera's 4th Annual Ugly Sweater Party. It is hard to imagine that people actually buy these sweaters for full price and wear them in public. The only thing I can start to pretend to understand is that some of these ugly-sweater-wearers are teachers. You know what I mean - young kids need that over stimulation of the senses by looking at bright! colors and textures like pom poms! and bells! Right?
The girls and I surely did a great job of finding just the right ugh-lee sweaters to wear for this occasion. I think these parties are becoming more common as neither Savers nor Goodwill had a trace of an ugly sweater on their racks. Kiera saved the night and let Jay & I borrow from their growing stash.
Check out us hotties in our very unattractive sweaters.
The McNeills did a great job of finding something displeasing-in-appearance to wear. Jeff also donned that 'stash to punctuate the look. (Alistair - good call on the striped PJs though they certainly are not ugly. I think it's hard to put someone as cute as you in something ugly, so we'll let you slide until next year).
The Blechs - as usual Joe's imagination rocked the house. Dickey!!! I think this qualifies for offensive-to-the-sense-of-beauty, don't you? (Kate - you will be mortified one day when you're 18 & see this picture. Just know - your parents do love you).
Kathy with her dates Elijah and Josh. The boys picked out their own unpleasant-to-look-at tops to wear.
And here we are in our omigosh-are-they-really-wearing-that sweaters. At least we're smiling, right?
So as you can tell, the party was a great time! Jay and I stayed up way past our bedtime and didn't get home until 1:00am!! It was so fun hanging out by the fire talking and listening to stories. I just love our friends!

I just love our friends! The rest of the weekend was nice & quiet. Saturday we went to In & Out for burgers and then did a little grocery shopping. Oh, and I baked those date bars that were so yummy. Today...well, let's just say that I haven't changed out of my pajamas and it's nearly 8pm. It's THAT kind of day. I made beef stew in the crock pot (so good!), sewed & did laundry while Jay watched football & did some research online. We talked about all the exciting things we have to look forward to in 2010 as well. I just know it's going to be a great year!!
Christmas is just a few days away & we're all ready to celebrate. We wish you and your families a very blessed week!
xoxo Amie
