How To Wait Out An Ice Storm In Style



Visiting with my parents and my brother's family in Indiana


All the cousins...ready for gift opening after our Christmas devotional and communion.  

THEN, Family Minute To Win It....CHRISTMAS EDITION.... (my mom made up the games...errr...I mean the elves made them up!)


Karly won the "Snowball Slurries" game with 34 cotton balls in her hat.


Uncle Josh trying to catch tortillas on a plate for the "Housetop Hysteria" game...the tortillas were Santa's Sleigh and you had to land as many as you could on the "rooftop" plate.


Brad and Brayden trying to get the most tortillas on a plate.


Dad playing the "Candy Cane Capture" game.  I think he won this game for his team with 10 candy canes....you had to only use the hook of a candy cane with your teeth to try to grab the others and move them to another location.


Karly, playing "Packable Stackables" for our team.....


Brad rocked this game and won it for his team!


THE CHAMPIONS!  
Not sure how we managed to win it, but with Karly's win in the snowball game, Kenna and I taking strong seconds in the candy cane game and the tortilla toss (I amused myself by trying a totally different kind of tortilla flip and it worked for me :)....we didn't do so well in the Packable Stackable game, but we were tied for 1st place and Karly managed to secure the win for us with a best two out of three in a rock, paper, scissors game. 


Our award was being able to open Santa's pack and hand out gifts to everyone.  I really like Brad's face in this picture.....he wasn't too happy that we had won because he had such a strong win in the last round of Packable Stackables.   


Brenna and Karly making appetizers for us with an Easy Bake Oven


Kenna and Vannah experimenting with Kenna's new make up....Kenna asked me several weeks ago if she could start wearing some make up now and I had to pretend to be MEAN MOMMY and give her a wacky reason why I was saying NO because I knew she was getting some for Christmas :P


Lookin' good! :P


Brayden and Kassi practicing their jokes for the Variety Show


Danielle the Magnificent awes us with her magic tricks


Josh and Brenna's dance routine....Karly waiting to show us some of her gymnastics routine
