Small Group Christmas Party

We were snowed in today and apparently we were in a "level 2 emergency" which means travel on the roads only if absolutely necessary. Well, we decided that our small group Christmas party would surely fit into that category. Afterall we had a difficult time scheduling it around 7 busy family schedules! The kids sure change each year for their picture. It's hard to remember when there were no kids... now there is a gaggle of them! The party was at Terry & Karla's new house this year. It's so awesome. It was perfect for a large group of us. The picture of the girls above is of them messing around with their Chat Now phones. After supper we played charades with Christmas subjects. The pictures in the collage below with the kids making funny motions is them acting out a word. Madison got the word "Blitzen" and Quinn had "Frosty the snowman"... they both did really good and our team got them right. I personally hate charades. Thankfully I didn't have to act anything out. : )

There is a two hour delay tomorrow for school already. Madison and Quinn went to spend the night at B&P's house. Archie and Michelle came over at 9:30 to pick them up. Thanks guys! They have plans to go sledding in the morning and apparently there is a huge snowman that Archie has started that needs finishing...and then on to school at 11am.
