We had our YMCA 2 Class Christmas Party tonight at our house. We had a great turnout, and a wonderful time was had by all. . .We had it catered by Food City--which, by the way was very good. We had 18 people come out on this rainy and foggy night. . .which was a great number. We sat around and ate, and then we played our annual "ornament exchange game"--wouldn't be a Christmas party without it. . : ) (for those of you who don't know--this is a game where you can steal gifts from each other) Here are a few pics from the party tonight. . . Tina and Sarah getting ready for the gift exchange game. . . Special thank you to Sarah and Kevin for helping me get the food picked up and get everything ready. . .I love you guys!
Becky,Brett and Bridgett and Kevin doing the same thing. We had all eaten in the kitchen and some in the den. . .so we all moved together into the den for the game. We were glad Brent and Bridgette could make it. . . They had been in Georgia visiting family and just got back home. . . You will have to ask Brent about what all he learned about Martin Luther. . . He has a great story to tell you about it. .: )
Susan. . .with her sugar and creamer set. . .She was number 1 in the game. . choosing first. . .

I am an oven mitt, not a pot mat. . .James"(acting like the oven mitt is a puppet. . .)
Thanks everyone for making our party tonight a huge success. . .We had a great time. Here are a few more funny ones. Thanks for a great time with wonderful friends. . .Love you all!!!!! Bicki forgot to bring gifts--so she got a few "prizes" out of her purse. . .($5 bills) One was wrapped in a kleenex and a beautiful yellow ribbon (that she pulled out of the trash bag--that was overflowing with trash!!!) The other was wrapped in a bulletin from tonights performance!! The one I am opening. . . .I had a difficult time getting into it. . .: )
Kevin says he wants my $5. . . I said "
I use it to get coffee on my way to work". . . .Kevin says, "
I like coffee too :)" I am just noticing Bicki laughing her head off in this picture. . . Thanks for the support girlfriend!!
I love ya Daniel. . .but I'll just take your $5. . . .
So. . .Daniel decides to just go and take Kevin's. . . .
Kevin celebrating after he stole my gift. . .Do you think he was a little happy????
I am glad Kevin doesn't like to rub it in. . .or anything. .: ) Bicki-- I think your cash gift was the hit of the party!!! You're awesome!!!
I know you didn't want your picture made. . . Gotcha!
Of course. . . Last but not least----our yearly group picture. . . Thanks guys for all you did to make this party a great one. . .You all are like family to James and I and we love you ALL!!!Merry Christmas!!!
