We decided to go skating again on Dec 28th, so we could get some more use out of our spot that I so painstakingly scraped off yesterday. Kyra was doing really well on her skates, but got tripped up somehow and ended up smacking her lip on the ice. She also must have landed on her wrist and hand because she was having a hard time moving it for awhile. This was the end result of that nice wipeout...
Ann gave Kyra this gingerbread kit at Christmas, so we finally got around to doing it. This was the night of the 28th...Kyra was feeling a bit better...
Here we are on New Year's Eve...the gang's all here!!!
Just Dance 4!!!
Miranda and her date, Mark, headed to the New Year's Eve dance...
Getting ready for our white elephant gift exchange...
Stacy can't believe she just opened a box of Spam, vienna sausages, sardines, and oysters...(courtesy of me and Kyra and the Family Dollar).
Autumn looks pretty pleased with her new television set....ha ha!
And the lovely picture of Josh again makes another appearance for the second year in a row...LOL!!
Uhhhh Jaxon????
After getting the Josh picture stolen from him, Alan opened another present to reveal 3 beautiful pairs of women's thong underwear... (Kyra forced me to buy these at the dollar store).
Jaxon got exactly what he wanted, a flashlight...lucky!!!!
Hailey also got lucky when she opened a yard of gumballs (also from the dollar store)...
Stacy couldn't believe it when Josh opened his present to find a soap pump and salt and pepper shakers with a chef logo on them (me and Kyra bought at dollar store), because she also bought a paper towel holder and a hand towel that matched these perfectly (also bought at the dollar store)....and Stacey (Josh's wife) actually ended up opening those on her next turn, so they ended up with the entire matching set!! How lucky was that??!!
After the excitement of the gift exchange had subsided, we settled in for a game of apples to apples...
And then, of course, we had to play spoons (with dares)....
Autumn lost and had to wear underwear on her head and run down the block screaming"Help! I'm being chased by giant chickens!!"
Josh lost another one and had to eat a sardine from Stacy's box of meat...ewwww!!!! Rylee had to fight for her life on that game, since it ended with her and Josh having a tug of war with the spoon. She wasn't going to lose that battle!! I only got video of that one, along with Stacy eating a half teaspoon of pepper, singing jingle bells on front step as loud as she can, melting a piece of ice down the back of her underwear, and acting like a dog by crawling on all fours and barking. I think she lost the most games. Another one Josh had to do was make a snow angel in just a tshirt. Autumn did that one with him, but I missed getting pictures or video of that. I don't think any of the kids lost, it was pretty much just the adults!! It was sooo much fun!!!!
Alan having a moment with Jax and Mackers...
Getting ready for the ball to drop and bring in the new year....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
This is what was left of the food...my miniature dill pickles wrapped in ham spread with cream cheese were a big hit this year, along with the classic toffee dip with apples and grapes and of course, the li'l smokies in bbq sauce. The wassail is also sooo yummy! You also can't beat Stacy's delicious taco dip!!!
Our first pic of the new year!!! Jaxon looks like he's had a long day (he crashed pretty hard after this).....Here's to another great year!!!!!
