Everyone brought a dish to pass. I brought bacon wrapped weenies smothered in brown sugar, a new favorite! (Thanks Auntie!!! :))
We were also instructed to bring a white elephant gift. One of our gifts was a gift set from Hickory Farms and the other one was a 6 pack of Charmin toilet paper. Can you guess which one Jed picked out??
This was the gift I so luckily won at the white elephant! Jed and Sam are going to hang it in their office. :) Jed won the Hickory Farms pack we brought.
No, there was no alcohol involved!! Hahahaha! This photo will make me laugh for years to come! Yes, these are some of the managers of the Aardema dairies.
The boys had to blow up and fill the legs of panty hose with balloons and then put them on their head like reindeer antlers. (My cheeks hurt from laughing so much after this little activity)
No, don't adjust the color on your computer. Our sweaters really are that hideous! Jed and I made a trip to a thrift store in Twin Falls and were lucky enough to find these beauties! Jed's was so hairy I was tempted to trim it before left! And I never knew they made purple, bright orange and puke yellow sweaters! Boy, have I been missing out!!
Overall, it was an evening filled with many, many laughs! (Jed just wished I had left the camera at home!!! Haha!)

would have been interesting to see what would have happened if there was a little alcohol thrown into the mix...or maybe I don't want to know...sounds like you had fun!!!
We'll be missing you this week and thinking about you. Hope you and Jed have a blessed first Christmas together. And of course Merry Christmas to Raja, Nessie, and Izz too!
From Nick, Liz, baby girl, Freddie, and the kitty cousins in Belmont!
Mmm, bacon wrapped doggies :)
I think your family Christmas card should have that pic of you & Jed and your LOVELY sweaters - or possibly you, too could make reindeer antlers.
Looks like you had fun - maybe we could ALL move to Idaho to take part in these Idaho-in traditions.
Next time you come home, bring that sweater home, we'll have a party :)
LOVE YOU.
I think that having our own Allegany County Ugly Sweater party would be REALLY fun! Never heard of the idea, but it's a good one! As usual, I love all your photos, Laura!
I can't wait to come home for an ugly sweater party and putting panty hose reindeer antlers on my head with you all! :) Miss you all soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!
