We celebrated the New Year with the Burdick's and the Woolstenhulme's. It started out with a prime rib supper. Ahh, I can see that someone at this table is putting ketchup on their prime rib. Isn't that against the law!! Amanda, Malorie, Mariah and Emily.
The boys' table. Bo, Cado, Jace and Dayton.
The "older adults" table.
Mariah had planned the greatest array of Minute to Win It games. It was a great success once again. Here is the face the cookie game where you try to get a cookie from your forehead to your mouth.
Dave W. tried to look relaxed but he really was working very hard. He didn't like being beat by the little kids.
Here's a group trying to get three penne pastas onto a spaghetti noodle.
Look at the concentration as these folks try to get a candycane into their cup.
Here everyone is trying to gather up two candycanes with a candycane hanging from a string.
This is the game that was leading to the finals. It brought blood and sweat. We were very careful NOT to get vaseline on Karen's white carpet and had taken all of the preventative measures for that. What we didn't realize was that Dayton was willing to give up his knees to win this game. When it was over, we all saw his knees and gasped. Heavens, I think that boy would have run over women and young children to win that game. He was ruthless.
Here are Dayton's raw knees.
Here is Karen cleaning off the bloodstains from her carpet!
The final event was the lick the lifesavers and stickem to your face game. Dayton and Cado were the finalists. Dayton claimed that he was the winner and took the prize box, although most of us think that he cheated and put two lifesavers back on his face! Oh well, he won and that's all that mattered to him! :)
