White Elephant Ugly Sweater Party

The Coils invited us to their annual White Elephant Gift Exchange/ Ugly Sweater Party. What a fun, hilarious night! They had a really large turnout and I took the opportunity to take pictures of all the couples. {along with ShayC.- we are 2 peas in a pod, for sure! Sorry for messing with your flash, lady! LOL} Aren't they so adorable? We have made some pretty awesome friends here.

After a delicious dinner of soups and salad and bread and treats, we started the White Elephant Exchange. At first, Brett and I thought we may have to sneak out before they got to our gifts. ;) Some of the kids stayed upstairs and our gifts are a bit on the funny/ embarrassing side. We were nervous how people would take them. But all the gifts turned out so fun! There was the Guymon's big TeddyBear that they could never get rid of no matter how much they begged people to take it. There was a pair of HAND-er Pants (underwear for your hands), large googly eyes, a few Duck Dynasty gifts, a sweat suit, some chocolates and the Honeymoon version of dice. Brett and I ended up with a pack of Hot Chocolate- Yeah!!! and a singing Mistletoe which we totally LOVE and is annoying as all get out!!! So fun! We thought our gifts [we gave] were hilarious! And we're glad that others did too. (See at the end of the post for closeups of what we did) It was a lot of fun!

We voted for the Sweater Contest. They had 2 categories. The Most Christmas Spirit and the Ugliest Sweater Award! There was some pretty hideous sweaters so it was hard to choose. Although- Reid and Nate, that won- were pretty right on for Ugliest all around! LOL Congrats guys!

Here's a closeup of what Brett and I did for our gifts this year. We are SOOOO funny! We crack ourselves up!
The first was a N'Sync Christmas Ornament from 2000 that we doctored up a little. The funny thing was that I had to point out for them to look a little closer. Apparently I did a good enough job that they didn't know it was actually the MEN from the party that made up the Boy Band. LOL It was fun to have everyone see if they could figure out who everyone was. Several of the men even got to see what they look like with hair. So funny!

Brett's gift was in honor of our Host- Dr. Coil. LOL We did a Info-mercial theme and attached it to a Doctor kit along with a silky white robe and a bottle of Calcium Supplement (ReddiWhip). It was so funny! Shay even exchanged for it so she could have it. [Not sure if it was because she wanted it or because she didn't want anyone else to have it!] She was laughing so hard she was in tears by the end. 

Andy thought our gifts were awesome so I made sure that he knew that this ensured that we would get invited back next year! LOL

Thanks Coils for such a fun evening. We had a BLAST!!!!! You're awesome! Merry Christmas everyone!
