UGLY: defined.

What you are about to see are some fine displays of fashion. This past weekend we hosted an Ugly Sweater party for some of our neighbors. The people of the 'hood did NOT disappoint.

The men in all their glory: (l.-r.): Chet, Michael, Jared, Brian, Brian, Jeff. (Chris was late arriving due to a wrestling tournament).The ladies (l.-r.): Sherri (a.k.a. Mimi), Lindsay, Nikki, Mindy, Jami, Lacey, Mary, Melisa, Abby.
Look at these fine looking couples and their delightful outfits!

Lacey and Brian.
Abby and Jared.Abby was a little self-conscious showing so much skin...look at those knees!!Melisa and Brian. Mary and Michael.
Nikki & Jeff.Our husbands were MIA so Lindsay and I posed for a "sisters" picture instead. Mom and dad, we're thinking this should go on this year's Christmas card!
It's REALLY hard to have a serious conversation with guys in mauve pants and puppy dog shirts/snowman vests.
Mimi brought stock photos of herself to autograph for her adoring fans.
Several party-goers brought multiple wardrobe selections...when you have so many beautiful jewels to choose from, it's hard to pick just one. Here's Mimi's second choice.Chris finally made his grand appearance mid-way through the evening. Showing off his bronze-colored kicks. Truly one-of-a-kind.Chris & I posing for our couple photo. Somebody mentioned that it would be humorous to see our kids' faces when they are combing through our old photographs in 30 years and come across a dandy like this. They'll be so proud of us!! :)
The group voted Mimi and Chris as having the Ugliest ensembles. The winners were awarded with lottery tickets.
After some great food and lots of laughs, we all enjoyed some friendly horse races.Spread the word...those Foxfire residents are some real trendsetters : )
To all of our neighbors (and Lindsay)--thanks for playing! We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such awesome, fun people. Start thinking about next year's theme!
