Tacky Sweater Party

We hosted our second annual tacky sweater Christmas Party this weekend. Everyone really rose to a new level of tacky. It's gone far beyond tacky sweaters to entire ensembles. We had ugly sweaters layered over ugly sweaters, earrings made from actual ornaments, garland hot-glued onto sweaters, and the winner of the sweater competition had actual lights to enhance his already ugly sweater. Thanks to my friend Faith's genius idea, we added the gingerbread house making competition this year. The competition was fierce, and I was highly impressed with the quality of architecture and variety of the gingerbread houses. Thanks to everyone that came and participated. I had a great time, and I hope you enjoyed your evening as well! The annual step-brother photo of Kevin and Adam.
