The Ugly Sweater New Year's Party

This year for New Year's Eve we decided to host an ugly sweater contest. As you will see in the following pictures, some people really went above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to ugliness! This photo is of Cara and Chad... the picture doesn't quite illustrate just how large Cara's maternity sweater was! I especially like how the bears are right in the area where a pregnant woman gets the biggest. Even when she is nine months pregnant, this sweater will still be too big on her!



I am almost embarrassed to post this picture. I thought my sister and I had gone through our parents' closet and gotten rid of these hideous items. Unfortuneately, they were the winners of the contest, but we decided they had to be present to win and they had gone home before we voted! Thank goodness no one got in an accident or pulled over last night... would have been difficult to explain that one!




Here are the winners of the contest... Kyle and Lindsey! Not sure if you can tell in the picture, but Kyle's sweater says, "Save our animals." They received 2 Rave tickets and free popcorn at the movies!




My mom was really upset that Ryan was wearing this sweater for the contest... she really likes it! Maybe we can donate it to her ugly sweater collection for a party in the future!




Here's the whole gang (minus a few people who hadn't arrived yet!). We had a great time despite how we looked!

Happy New Year!
