JR and I had a good time at D.I. picking out our sweater treasures.
Mom and Pops (I'm pretty sure my dad secretly liked his sweater and we may or may not see him wear it at future events):
My sister Lyndee and her husband Rob:
The host and hostess, sister Amy and her husband Matt:
Sister Emily and husband TJ:
And the winner of the ugly Christmas sweater competition by a large margin was my brother Chris. Let me explain. Chris actually pieced his ugly sweater together himself with yarn. He collected a hodge podge of clothing and cut and sewed it all together. In case you are wondering, yes that is leopard print lingerie at the bottom, and yes, those are dangly beads with his name on it hanging from his chest. I just with you could see it with better detail. The sleeves are puffy lace. The beauty is lost in photography. Way to create your own ugly sweater Chris, you deserved the title of ugly Christmas sweater winner.
The prize? A nutcracker complete with walnuts. Oh the glory of it all! Sweet victory.
Pretty awesome looking crew if you ask me:

Oh Jenns, that is so funny!! Your fam is so cool to do an ugly sweater party!! I think yours and JR's should have won! :) I'm glad that I finally got to see a pics of your brother's too! Merry Christmas! Love ya! :)
That is hilarious. I especially like the picture where J.R. is trying to be pregnant.
That is such a super awesome idea to have an ugly sweater contest on Christmas. Is this a family tradition?? Cause I think my family should adopt it too. I'm wondering if they'd actually go for it -- I'm going to try next year. Merry Christmas! I hope yours was GREAT!
So John Travolta circa 1975 won the nutcracker prize... I'm confused?? And is it just me or did Chris's face get melted off somewhere in the evening (that last picture is craaaazy). Your family is always so much fun, i miss the days of being able to peek in on the Lange festivities randomness, never a dull moment!
