Deck the Halls with Ugly Sweaters

Over the weekend, Visbeen Architects and GMB Architecture + Engineering 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.

Our venue for the evening, The Cultural Center

The judges of our ugly Christmas sweater "parade"

Each person, dressed up or not, had to plead their case to the judges of why they should win a prize for their attire

 The finalists in the ugly sweater category

 Each finalist vied for the title, determined by loudest applause

And the winners are....

Christmas, the VAI Staff Style

Over the weekend, Visbeen Associates staff had our annual Christmas party. We enjoyed a very relaxing weekend up at a lodge in Bitely, Michigan. It was a time full of great food made by Chef Oliver Hale, great fun playing games and great fellowship with our staff members and their spouses!

What can we say, we like to groom them for the business early around here! Emmaus Lorenz was a good little guy and hung out with the adults for the weekend.
