Ugly ornaments

Tonight I enjoyed a fun evening with the ladies at a Christmas tea. I know that sounds all fancy and stuff, but it really boils down to 10 women sitting around eating cheese ball, various finger foods, and drinking some yummy wassail. We had a few rounds on the Wii and held an ugly ornament contest. I'd like to offer up some of the entrys.

From the Painter home we have the Slam Dunking Shaq (Sorry PEC, I know it's out of focus) Nothing says Christmas like a replica of a large basketball player hanging off the rim. :)

Heather Schmidt offered up this gem. She says that there are more and they keep appearing around the house. Jen and I think that Ryan is secretly making them and placing them around the house to drive her crazy!

Lisa bought this special little number at Hobby Lobby today and managed to keep a straight face. Maybe if the Cubs ever win the series she can pass it on to Shelby.

All I can say about this guy is that Jen was ready to take him home and hang it on her tree. I fairly certain she was serious.

The runner up was a frog performing in a burlesque show. I'm really not sure how this works into any decor.

The grand prize winner was this lovely dollar store find. Is it Santa? Is it a wrinkled old lady with a tinsel beard. Who knows, but it's a little creepy either way!
