A couple of weeks ago Doug and I hosted an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. We thought about doing one last year, but just couldn't fit it into our schedule. We had such as blast that it will definitely become a holiday tradition for us. I already have a snow machine in the budget for next year's party.
We moved both cars out of the garage and hung red tablecloths on the walls to hide all of our storage space. I bought tons of tacky Christmas decorations from the dollar store and told Doug to have a ball putting them all up. He did a great job tackifying the garage! With the beer pong table in place we were ready for guest to arrive.
I also set up a little area for people to take pics with there sweaters. I bought plenty of props for people to use in their photos, including a Santa beard. I thought it would be a great place to get people there Christmas Card photos. We put up a Christmas Tree that we found at goodwill and put out our fireplace heater that we use to keep our room warm. The photo area was a great hit!
We had an awesome time and hope that all of our friends enjoyed themselves. We have so much beer left over that I have already started thinking of other parties that we can have in the future...in February I think we should have an 80's inspired Sweetheart Ball!!! I am ready to find how big my hair can get!
Doug and I have been living in WA state now for little over 3 years and have also been married a little over 3 years. At first it was a lot to take in...getting married, driving/moving across the country, and starting our new life together where it is just me and him. It really has not been too difficult. We both love married life! Between Doug doing his residency and me working as a hygienist our schedules don't always match up perfectly, but we enjoy the time that we get to spend together and the adventures that we share! Hopefully everyone who reads this blog will enjoy our adventures as well!
