Friday 12/16/11: The Ugly Sweater Gala

I went to the annual ugly sweater party, wearing a t-shirt silk screened to look like an ugly sweater. That didn't hold a candle to the Extremely festive sweaters in attendance. There was one ensemble involving appliqués on white sweats (top and bottom) that belongs in the hall of fame if they ever build one.
The white elephant game is always fun, and here the hostess Lindsy is showing her ultimate prize: the lobster-shaped candy dish. Fun night. My teenage neighbor watched the kids and they seemed to have a great evening too. Other prizes included a bicycle bell and a VHS of "How to Mate Hamsters. ". I took home a hand crocheted doll/air freshener cozy.
