Grandpa Mike's Party







Every year on the 23rd we get together with Brandon's Dad and Dustin's family for a get-together. Since Christmas is such a busy time and Christmas day seems to be chaotic, we learned years ago that exchanging gifts and getting together before the holiday is the best to make sure we get to spend some time with Mike.

This year I found a couple games that we had a TON of fun with. The first was a gift exchange where I read a story that has the words "left" and "right" many times throughout the story. Every time a "left" or "right" is said, we pass presents to the person that direction of us. So fun! The other game proved to be the funniest--we split into family teams with Addison joining Mike for his team. Each team was given a pair of girls pantyhose and 8 balloons. The object of the game was blow up the balloons, stuff the legs of the pantyhose, and put the hose on the head of the child on your team so they looked like a reindeer! Oh my! It was very fun!
