Deck the Halls with Ugly Sweaters

Over the weekend, <a href="http://www.visbeen.biz/">Visbeen Architects</a> and <a href="http://www.gmb.com/">GMB Architecture + Engineering</a> celebrated our first Christmas party as a joint team.  We cleaned out our closets, borrowed from family/friends and visited thrift stores to find some of the ugliest Christmas apparel you ever did see for the occasion.  The evening was full of food, fun and plenty of merriment, and though the sweaters may have been frightful, the company was delightful.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
