Etherington Christmas Party

We love the Etherington's. We love them living on our street. We love the joy they bring. We love having family so close. Christmas Eve with the Etherington's came early as Robert was headed in to open heart surgery on December 22nd. So the 20th became their official Christmas Eve.

We ate dinner and played the grinch game. Before that we had a bug huge ball filled with prizes such as ring pops and partially used gift cards and a bag of pennies and chocolate and farting pads and crazy weird stuff. You had to put on two gloves and try to unwrap as much of the ball as you could while the person next to you tried to roll doubles. You got to keep whatever you rescued from the Saran Wrap. But watch out. Not all are treats. Some things have you prancing like Rudolph or choosing whether to have a permanent red nose like Rudolph or pointy ears like the elves or Santa's big fat belly or answering trivia questions. Such a fun game. 

It was a fun night. I sure love this group of amazing loved ones.

Jesse & Katie, Hayden and me
