I was in charge of games yet again at the annual Christmas Eve gala at Mom's. This year we changed the meeting place to mom's as she has more floor space for games. We played a rousing game of Christmas Minute to Win It! Everyone always enjoys this especially the teenagers. The favorite is the glow in the dark ring toss. I didn't get many pictures this year as I was running the games and the camera lady, which I failed miserably at, sorry!

The stack the nut game is intense. Gena was the champion this year with stacking 12 nuts. Rowland is her latests beau. He seems like a really nice guy.

Then there is the snowball catapult. Always a good one for warming things up. Everyone was a good sport.

The teams got in the spirit of the night with candy cane toss. It was a fun evening of pizza and games. Thanks mom for letting us invade your home. We sure had a good time. I have to say though, I am retiring as party chairman. I have done it for the office party and the family party for the past 5 years so I am hanging up my creativity and passing the torch to somene else. Happy Holidays everyone and to those of us who really don't like Christmas - Bah Humbug!

you're so funny, like you think you can really retire...looks like a lot of fun though and I think I would have rather been there than here. I get a little tired of watching little boys tear through a ton of presents and then cry because there isn't more. The worst was that after they blew out the candles on their birthday cakes (yes Christmas Eve is also a birthday party) they were licking their cakes and since mom wasn't watching, she kept asking everyone if they wanted cake, that would be a big NO!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun....I missed all of you this Christmas! I just remembered this is your new blog and had fun going back through your Thanksgiving pictures. That was so fun! I can't wait to come to your house this summer. Love you. :)
