And, of course, here are the plethora of photos that speak for themselves.

sorry I got you with your eyes closed Sweet Cheeks, but Dillon and Scott are working the camera

Andrea and Marc, who not only is wearing an
ugly sweater, but an entire
ugly outfit. Takin' it to the next level.

Sarah and Mark wearing the gems he found at the DI. The shorts really complete the look.

Christy, Lisa and Mary Ann looking
U-G-L-Y, in a very good way. Heidi (far right) came in her oldest sweater and if there had been a prize for that, I'm sure she would have one with her 1986 sweater. Better luck next time.

Kim, Tara, Staci and Lisa. The shoulder pads, sequins, stripes, and hideous lacy flowers just added to the overall festive atmosphere.

um . . . it was late and we had a camera near-by. Our freakishly long arms have to be good at something, right? Enter the self taken portrait. This was the only one fit to be seen and if this is the good one, what does that tell you about the others?

Mark and Staci were voted, respectively, the guy and gal sporting the
ugliest sweaters. They each won a Krave gift card. Who says
ugly sweaters aren't good for something? BTW, Staci raided her grandma's closet and feeling awkward asking for something
ugly, asked her grandma if she had any unique sweaters. Its unique alright. :)

Some of the spread. I made velveeta nacho dip and we had an array of delectable treats. Said it before and I'll say it again, bit of a party food over-indulger.

Courtesy of KMart online and KMart in town. Yes, we are both wearing womens' turtlenecks and sweater vests. Quality stuff, first rate. I'm thinking I've found my new facebook profile pic.

Brian, Bryce, Trav, Bill and Rob. If we were voting on
ugliest shirts, Bill would have won, hands down, for the beauty he had on under his excellent cardigan.

I can't remember why the backsides had to be touching but for whatever reasons, here are Sarah and Sara. Sarah's halloween sweater actually was
uglier on the back than the front. Sara had bears wearing hats and ice skating, that's some good
ugly.
Thanks for playing along everybody!
ps- anyone else have the old cheer in their head "U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi, you ugly, wooo oooo, you ugly!" not very nice but downright catchy.
pps-used the word ugly 16, oops now 17 times
