Austin & Melissa’s Wedding 12-17-2011

Our great friends Austin and Melissa eloped and got married in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains the week before Christmas. We were invited to come up the night before and spend time with them. We helped them get ready the next morning & took wedding photos for them before their ceremony. Congrats to A&M!

Ugly Sweater Contest

This holiday season we had an ugly sweater contest this year and we decided to create our own ugliness. We got semi-hideous elderly woman wardrobe from Walmart, spent a ridiculous amount of money at Hobby Lobby on bedazzling supplies, and had an absolute BLAST making our ugly sweaters. For the record, I never once touched Mark’s sweater and all that ugliness is all his own creative spirit. AND. Guess what. Mark WON the ugly sweater contest. Guess what he won? An enormous gingerbread man cookie. HA!!! Coincidence? I think not. It was meant to be.
