yes, that's right. a beard growing contest. one of tyler's first year friends decided to start an annual beard growing contest. the contest began right after the thanksgiving break and continued until the end of finals (december 19th). i admit i was not that excited about this from the start. sure the contest part sounded like a lot of fun, but kissing a guy with a beard sounded gross. but tyler was excited to participate and actually kept up with the best of them. i was surprised how long his beard got by the end. i was also surprised that i secretly starting rooting for tyler and was excited that his beard was so long.
on december 19th all of the participants, the wives and the children met at Bigg's Roadhouse for some steak eating. there the wives voted for the longest beard. the winner would receive a free steak dinner, courtesy of jeff and sarah nance.
here are most of the men that participated. take a look at how hairy some of them are!
i posted this one so you could get a good look at who won. taylor, the one with the baby, won the contest.
and on a side note...look at all this snow. this is in wauwatosa where we live. i guess it got dumped on since i've been in utah. i guess the people from wisconsin weren't lying when they said the winters were bad.
p.s. thanks sarah and byrdie for letting me steal pictures off your blog.

what handsome guys. wish you were there! i can't wait for the beard to be gone...what about you?
ha. this is so funny. i am also surprised how long tyler's beard got--- remember how i colored it with mascara in high school because it was so sparse? that was some fun.
rob is protesting the ridiculous rules at lds business college where he teaches, because you can have a mustache, but no goatee-- so he grew out his full beard and then shaved everything but some heinous handlebars. it was disgusting.
Looks like fun. Josh likes to grow a bread when he gets a chance, too.
I just wanted to have you tell Jeff Nance hi from us. We were friends with him and his older brother Brad in high school.
Merry Christmas!
That contest sounds kind of fun! What a lot of snow you did get--how deep was it? Hope you had a good Christmas!
That's funny, Jason didn't shave for two weeks, but he wasn't in a contest. He was just lazy. But it itches so bad, he had to shave... and then regretted being lazy.
Did your friend Jeff Nance serve a mission in Buenos Aires South?
