Christmas Party #1

 This was the year for Christmas parties...and none of them were work related.  
My sister Allison (the owner of Boutique Chez Vous) and I thought that we should have planned a Christmas party of some sort just for the sake of it and well and to get dressed up and have a nice meal....but like some things this year, that slipped through our minds.
 We were however were invited to a annual event at our friends Chris and Becky who live in Milwaukee.  Apparently this was an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party.  
Allison and Carson have attended this for a few years and had told us that every.one gets really involved with this and that it is alot of fun.  
Randy and I lucked out in the fact that we didn't have to buy our ugly fleeces.  We had borrowed them.   
Allison and Carson got their get ups from Goodwill.  Allison had mom jeans that clearly went way up there...think Urkel style!
 We were disappointed when we arrived that no one else had their 'special' sweaters on!!! Not even the host and hostess!!!! bummer :(  Well needless to say Allison won the prize for Best Ugly Sweater.
 There was also a White Elephant gift exchange.  So fun.  Randy apparantly loved his prize too much.  The ShakeWeight. 
 Here he is working up the crowd.  Can you tell that he is just a tid bit happy about his prize.  And he was equally happy that no one wanted to steal it from him!

 One of the most beloved prizes was a toaster oven.  This one was a present that was stolen. 
 And worst white elephant present was picked by Becky the host!  Her own sister wrapped up a banana that she found in Becky's own freezer.  Everyone got a big laugh at that one!
 Awe don't we look so good in our smatching matching sweaters.
