80's Xmas Party

Tonight was the anxiously awaited 80's / Ugly Sweater Christmas Party hosted by our friends Ken & Keri. One look at this couple when I walked through the door & I knew it was going to be a fun night!

Shane unfortunately was sick so he ended up staying home while me & my ugly Christmas sweater managed to have a good time without him.

As the other guests arrived, the outfits kept getting better and better:

Nick & Melissa as "Maverick & Charlie" from Top Gun

Brian & Jill as "Cousin Eddie" from Nat'l Lampoons Xmas Vacation

After much food & beverage was consumed we all gathered around the living room to open gifts. Everyone was instructed to bring an "As Seen On TV" gift and we proceeded to do a "White Elephant Gift Exchange" where you can steal gifts from the people who opened gifts ahead of you. It was quite fun and there were some very interesting gifts up for grabs.

Here Rob models his HD Vision glasses he got as well as Melissa modeling her new Snuggie:

And of course no gathering with this group would be complete unless we all got together for a photo op! Thanks Ken & Keri for being such a great host & hostess and for a fabulous time. We are looking forward to the 2nd Annual X-mas party next year :)
