Grandma Jo's Christmas Party

Minute to Win It-Christmas Style

Our family party has had many themes throughout the years--this year it was Minute to Win It. We had several challenges. They were fun to participate in and even more fun to watch everyone else. We ALWAYS have fun together, no matter what!

Face the Cookie
Jingle in the Trunk
Ruldoph Nose
Kleenex Pull
Stack the Golf Balls
M & M munch
Elephant March
Balloon Air Blow
Christmas NUT Stack
Ping Pong Ball launch

We had great food and then of course PRESENTS! Grandma Jo got all the little kids a bike like toy. They had so much fun scooting those things around the gym at the Jr. High. There is also a ramp that they got flying down it. It was the perfect place to play on them. Bailey got Loopz. It is a game based on memory. Yep, you guessed it-she beats me every time.
We had a talent show. Bailey and Wade played Christmas songs on the piano. Bailey also played the recorder that we learned in school. Chase is pretty cute when he sings "I'm getting nuttin for Christmas" but he decided having everyone watch him was just too much.
The night ended with a very competitive basketball game. We have some great ball players in the family.
It was a GREAT party!

Merry Christmas! I can't believe taht you were up and opening presents by midnight....oh wait, just I can!! Next year Santa might have to come a little later in the night! All of your post about Christmas were great, you are SO much better with "words" my posts don't even make sense! Well, I hope that your lunch today was fun and that you all made a fantastic New Years plan. See you soon.
