The GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY!!

.....the GOOD....

Our neighbors, the Dabo's, hosted their 3rd annual

Christmas gift card event.  Instead of buying gifts and goodies

for neighbors everyone takes the money they would

have spent and gets gift cards for

a local charity.  This year it was for the  

South Valley Sanctuary.  It's a domestic violence shelter for 

men, women, and children.

We walked over to the Dabo's house and had hot 

chocolate and doughnuts and put our
gift cards in a big stocking. 

Mabel was in mini marshmallow heaven!

It was coooooooooold but we bundled
up for a good cause!

....the BAD....

The Dabo's also hosted an 

Ugly Sweater Party/White Elephant Gift Exchange

and it was hilarious!
So many awful sweaters!
(and gifts that were terrible in an awesome way too)

Kurt and Kara...so bad. So good.

Jocelyn and Andy...she MADE THESE out

of vintage tree skirts! So clever. 

I got my lovely nightgown/sweater from Calvary

Thrift Store for a $1.00.

Scottie Dogs United!

....the UGLY....

Nathan and Tyler won for ugliest.

This picture makes me laugh pretty hard.
