Eat Drink and BE UGLY

That's right, the Merrells threw their 1st annual ugly sweater party this year! It was epic!
I figured since we weren't sending out Christmas cards we could send out nice invites to the party! We went all out, it was our 'fancy party'. We used our fancy dishes, we ate 'fancy food' (because yes, lil smokies are fancy in this house) and we wore our fanciest sweaters. 
Pretty classy stuff

We had all our friends over who were still in town for the holidays...so like 6 people. It was a blast though! It was just the right amount of people for our little apartment. We ate a little talked a little exchanged white elephant gifts.
The Hot Items included:
The Betty Boop Onesie
a brand new toothbrush and facial tissues
An Over-sized notebook with a cat on the cover and dog prints on each page
A doll head (for your styling pleasure) that we names "Laqueesha"
A dart gun with 6 darts
An embarrassing old Newley wed Game
A Mr Potato Head piggy bank

After a lot of stealing and unwrapping, here's where everything ended up.
Monika thought that if she put it on right then and there, we wouldn't be able to steal it...wrong




Chad revealed his passion for onesies and I got the awesomely awkward notepad

The Duke were thrilled with their gifts (just what they wanted)

And so were the Thompsons...literally, they were both psyched!

Carly got the basic essentials of Christmas...a toothbrush and cotton face tissues...a Christmas miracle
We all took our turns under the mistletoe for pictures and kisses
 




Needless to say Carly was missing her other half and it was not happy. We missed you Jeremy!



 Chelsea and her awesome self prepared a handful of epic Minute-to-Win-in Games! It as a blast!!! 
Thanks Chelsea! Always the life of the party!


                
 The first round was a piece of cake for everyone but each game got harder and harder...for me at least. Lets just say, I'm not as coordinated as I would like to be :) But hey that's why I've got the camera and they are getting recorded.
Here is a taste of MY favorite game of the night!








LOVED the whole evening! So fun and we are totally making it an annual affair! Here's a few photos that need no captions.
