Grandma H's had our traditional Hawkins family Christmas party at her house. We met around 5:00 and hung out until about 7:30. We had pizza, salad chips and dips and of course lots of candy.
Here Lynne and Rachel are getting ready to serve up some salad.
Dan and Jessica are kicking back on the famous bean bag. Jessica created a very interactive Christmas game for all of us.
After eating, we played some of her Christmas games (taboo and pictionary combo)
before the exchange gift game .

Jimmy and Rachel chatting during the game. We divided into two teams, boys against the girls. Of course the boys dominated. Perhaps there is some trash talking going on here between the two.
Dustin prepares to take his turn, Jaimie looks on and hopes for a easier card.
Jamie's card was "artifical tree" She provided a very intense drawing but the girls could not get it. I thought is was a great drawing.
Jim is helping Rachel loosen up and Heather is being Heather. I cannot figure out what she is doing here.
Jacob responds to the flash. He was very active during the party. Running all over the place. He felt very comfortable around everyone. 
Caught texting during the party, Heather shows her 'darn-it you caught me' face.

Dan competing his heart out !!!
Grandma H and Ducky await their turn.
Jacob and Richie playing.... never a dull moment. Boys will be Boys !!
Jacob trying to get Grandma to find him a special toy.
Stephanie and Lynne attempt to beat the guys...... resistance if futile.
Little Jacob and Greg playing the staring game. Of course Jacob lost, he could not stand still for very long.
Jacob getting one of his many hugs throughout the evening. I love getting hugs... when the kids were young, Grandma G and I would get many hugs each day. Now we are lucky if we get hugs from our kids once a week.
Watching contestants act, draw and perform was very amusing.
Zoom !!!
Hey I got a popcorn popper.
Zoom again !A big thanks to those who planned and participated in our little party. Thank you Grandma H. for hosting a wonderful evening.
Merry Christmas !
Just for the record, the boys only won by one point. It was a lot of fun to have the family Christmas party at Grandma's house, it was kinda like when we where kids.
ReplyDeleteThat looked like you guys had so much fun! I'm just sad we couldn't have come earlier so we could've been there too.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys have saved some more energy for games and partying for while we're down there! :)
P.S. Once we get down there the guys are going down!! You all are no match for my awesome game skills!
Hey Angela I think the XY genetic configuration is a superior game combination. Ha! I accept your challenge.... prepare for defeat.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lot of fun, we should do it next year!! I loved the game that jess made, it was awesome!! :)
