Christmas Celebrations


 We hosted 2 Christmas celebrations at our home during this past week. During this past summer, we painted our garage floor, repainted the walls & installed the baseboards. With floor heat, the garage is toasty warm & is a roomy place for a larger group.


 Wednesday evening, our Small Group got together for a lasagna & salad supper. I found instructions for a fun game on the internet & thought I 'd try it to entertain our Small Group & entertain it did! 

 I wrapped candy & some Dollar Store items using plastic wrap & made a large ball. To add to the fun, I used pieces not one long piece. Made for a more difficult time to find the end!


 One person rolled 2 dice, trying to roll doubles while the other person unrolled the ball. Surprising how long it can take to roll a double!
 
 Also it sometimes took a few seconds to find the end of the wrap.


 Fun game.
Produced lots of laughter!

 Saturday we hosted my sisters, their spouses & added 2 families who live in the area. Make your own taco salad is always a favourite.

 We fed 16 at lunch time.

 During the afternoon,  the children left & we added 2 cousins & 1 spouse for supper. Didn't get a picture of the BBQ Farmer Sausage & scalloped potatoes. This is a picture of goodies we enjoyed for coffee.


 Sisters - Helen, myself, Edna & Carolyn.

 Cousin - Lois & Milly.
Great day, great food & great fellowship!
