... And then who knows where we will all be there.
We had our Simons family Christmas party on Christmas eve at my aunt and uncles house. We had a yummy turkey dinner, with lots of good treats. We had our traditional White elephant gift exchange. Usually we do a kids one, and an adult one... but this year we combined them. We had like 25 people participating. The little kids were getting anxious for their turn. This year the three gifts that were being "fought" over were a Martini shaker (which at first we were all confused of why people wanted it, but we later found out it had $10 in it), 2 beauty school mannequin heads, and the Pomegranate 7 up. We also played two games. The first we had the words "Merry Christmas" and had three minutes to find as many words as possible with using only the letters in Merry Christmas. The second game was scrabbled words, and we had to unscramble as many as possible.
On Christmas morning we didn't start opening presents till almost 9am... That is like 2 hours later than normal. It was weird. I was the first kid awake, and I didn't even wake up till 8:20. Grandma and grandpa came over, and they were there to watch us open presents. That was fun.
One of the gifts I gave Ashley was a board with a soccer quote on it...
She is in love with soccer. Here is a picture of it.
After we played a lot of our new games. We got a Wii, so we played that for a little while. Then we played a game called backseat drawing and balderdash. Then we went to Carolyn and James house to give them their gifts. After we got back from their house, we had dinner, then spent the rest of the night playing Wii fit plus! It was a blast. Overall it was a great Christmas eve and Christmas day!
