Holiday Hoopla

One of the best parts of the holidays is being able to hang out, play games, eat good food, and JUST be together.  In fact, I think that is THE best part of the holidays!

Playing together with new Christmas gifts is a favorite!

Sweeeeeeeeeedish Pancakes!

 

Cousin Buds!

We played our 2nd Annual  LCR (Left/Center/Right) game with the Miller clan, and it was very intense.

The final 2 dollar bills belonged to Kristy and Marissa ... and they both stayed safe for several rolls.  (Don'tcha just love how nervous M is!  haha!)

Here's Marissa's final roll ... and ... loss.  Kristy won the mula!!

We also had a lot of good laughs over this fun game  (everyone on each team -- except one who guesses -- acts out a phrase) -- here are M and the girlies giving an example of how the game works  by acting out "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree".

Marissa was a team captain and Kristy was a team captain.  Look how Marissa's team ended up  :)  (Kristy picked all the oldies).  The littles made up the cheer -  "X the oldies out!  X the oldies out!"  So -- that's what they did ... with style!

Thank Heavens the "oldies" got some easy things to act out.  Here we are acting out flip-flops.  Don'tcha just love Tyler's flip-flop walkie-walk?!?

... and applying lip stick.  James feels that requires one hand in the pocket ...

Grandpa ended up joining the girlies team ... and they were awesome.  Here they are acting out "fire hydrant":

*chuckle* ...  peeing on the fire hydrant while gramps hooks up the hose:

Rocking horse ...

So fun ... and funny.  I love hangin' out with our families!  It's the greatest.
