Christmas Party



Bet you didn't know that "Cousin It" was at our party!
Lauren looks a little upset that Brother Joel is taking her picture.






Just to show that I am a good sport.
Our Christmas party was a blast tonight. We had good food and a fun time. Everyone was told to bring two wrapped gifts that only cost a dollar each. I think the kids doubted me when I told them to only spend a dollar on each gift, but we had some great stuff brought. We played games to win the presents. The "Left-Right" game was great fun, but a little over some people's heads! Some of the presents that were won were silly string, whoopee cushions, glow wands, candy, and so on. I was really impressed with the creativity of the presents!
Brother Joel spent the night trying to take pictures of everyone, but got more pictures of hair, eyes, ears, and noses than I care to see! He then got serious and read us the Christmas Story from Luke 2 and reminded us to "ponder" on these things like Mary did.
I'm glad you all came tonight. I hope each one of you have very Merry Christmas and I will see you in the New Year!
