Ugly Sweater Christmas Party

I am obsessed with traditions. I have loved starting new ones with Tyler and this year we have added a new one to the bunch. With our friends, Breanne and Chace, we threw a Christmas party with a bunch our friends and it was a hit! I wanted to go all out, so we made a ton of yummy treats and had some crazy games to keep us entertained.

This is Dustin about to snarf all of the food before everything is even set up on the table, of course.

 Kitchen crew: Me, Breanne, and Chace. Thanks guys!

 Big D and Lacey, what a cute couple!

 Alright, here we go for the crazy games of the night. This picture below shows the game 'Get As Many Ornaments On the String As You Can With NO Hands In a Minute'. You had to work with your partner at getting the ornaments on the string, no doing it by yourself and hands had to be behind your back.

 As you can see some couples got a little steamy.... The winning couple got 6 ornaments on the string, holy cow! That is talent!

 I didn't get any pictures of this game, but Breanne and Chace had the game where each person writes on 4 pieces of paper a name of somebody famous. Then we put them in the bowl and passed it around. Each person had 45 seconds to describe as many of the people in the bowl as they could. It was boys against girls, and now that I'm trying to remember, I have no idea who won! But it was fun :)

Our final game was pure chaos! Tyler and I wrapped 4 boxes within each other: A box within a box within a box (Make sense?) and the very middle, smallest box contained a gift card to Starbucks. That was the ultimate prize of the night. So how we played: there was a pair of ski gloves and the couple would have to wear them (boy wears one glove, girl wears the other). Then, with the ski gloves on, they would try as fast as they can to unwrap the boxes before the next couple rolled doubles. As soon as doubles were rolled, the gloves had to be passed on to that couple and they got a chance until doubles were rolled.

Tyler and I thought we did pretty good wrapping with packaging tape, but it all ended when people weren't unwrapping but punching the boxes :) Silly boys.

 Here's the lucky winners of the awesome gift card!

 For the final event of the night, we had a white elephant gift exchange. Never in my entire life have I been to a more disgusting gift exchange...

First present opened: FOR REALS DIRTY DISGUSTING BOY UNDERWEAR!! FOR REALS! No faking, these were actual underwear from some unknown person that has been at a friend's house for over 3 months. EW.

Second present opened: Used toilet paper.... even more EW. This particular toilet paper was tossed around the room and landed....

 HERE: on Dean's face. He just about barfed. I don't blame him!

 Little did we know, the used toilet paper actually had chocolate on it. Such a good idea for a white elephant!

Here's just some more pictures of the opening of gifts.

 Unit's stinky old basket ball shoes opened by Luke and Maritza. They are now hanging over the electric wires outside our apartment complex, thanks guys.

 The last present opened: Luke's BRAIDED rat tail, cut off of his very own head TWO years ago... yup.

We have such creative friends :)

Such a classic night, we can't wait to continue this tradition every year. We are definitely blessed with such great friends who make life always entertaining. Merry Christmas!

Ps here is cute Tyler helping me with clean up after the party. He is so great!
