Something Ugly

Yes, it is possible as a photographer that you might just take an ugly picture!  My husband and I gave it our best effort!!   In this case, I think our attempts were unsuccessful because the pictures below turned out pretty cute!!

This holiday season was super busy with activities and work (thank you btw!).  However, we carved in some fun time with friends.  Ugly sweaters seemed to pave the way for the 2012 festivities and we were so excited!  Tyler and I attended an annual Ugly Sweater Christmas party and our attire was rather tame. He wore a shirt with reindeer shouting, “There’s no business like snow business!  I found a nice complimentary (14-year-old girl) Santa wish list sweatshirt.  She was wishing for a pony with a rainbow mane or a sleepover with a BFF to name a few!  It was funny! 

On to the main event, parents day out!!  As couples, we signed up for Omaha’s Ugly Sweater Race!!!  It was awesome!!  An untimed 5K with costume attire ranging from the pink bunny mimicking  “The Christmas Story” movie to several reindeer pulling Santa in a shopping cart!  My husband rocked a sweater that celebrates all holidays starting in August.  Yes folks, it is the sweater vest that can be worn for many occasions! LOL!  As a group, I have to say we did very well following the ugly theme, from band pants, crazy socks, sweater headbands, & tutus!!  The race was fun and we were cooled off with Omaha’s first heavy snowfall afterward!   It was so pretty…and a little chilly!  We decided to regroup and enjoy some yummy Mexican food before retrieving all of our kids from childcare.  What a great memory for all of us and we had a blast!! 

After saying our goodbyes, the Christmas holiday was only days away.  Our household packed up and headed to Wyoming for family time, skiing, and lots of driving!  J  2500 miles this time!  Can I just say…”whoa.” 

From Red Umbrella Photography, I truly hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Looking forward to 2013 and new adventures!!  God bless another year!!
