Last night Drew & I had an early Christmas party with all of our friends here on Guam. It was an ugly Christmas sweater party or really anything ugly & semi-Christmasy party because sweaters are pretty hard to find here on island. All of our friends did a FANTASTIC job on their outfits and we had such a wonderful time. We also had a white elephant alcohol gift exchange, which was really fun. Check out some of these amazing outfits.

On Friday night a few of us had gone to see the Harlem Globetrotters. They came to play a game on base for all the sailors & their families. It was very entertaining and a few of the crowd members were chosen to play a game where they made a human square, for lack of a better way to explain it. But since we had just seen this the night before we decided to try it out at our Christmas party. It made for a great party trick and some amazing pictures.
