Our Christmas Party

Well like the vast majority of Americans we decided to carve out one night to just hang out with each other and practice the age old tradition of giving gifts. We started out with a most scrumptious dinner which was cooked by Barb (aka my mom). This is the point where I really need to brag about my mom. She made the house really Christmassy (if that's a word), with a bit of decorating around the house along with making the table look extra special for the night. Afterwords we exchanged some gifts. We did the secret Santa or whatever it's called where everyone gets someone else's name and you get that person a present. Jon was really clever and packed Christina's present inside of a little checkbook box, which was packed inside of a bigger box, which was packed inside of a bigger box, and so on.

For sake of space I didn't include all the boxes

I think that we are getting better at knowing what to get eachother, because everyone seemed satisfied with their gift. We continued the funfilled evening with a fierce game of Pictionary. If you haven't played before it's where a person is given something to draw and with the drawing get their team to guess what it is.

Well once it got late we called it a night and headed home and to bed. I personally was thankful for the group of believers that the Lord has placed me with and how blessed I was to be with them.
