sierra planned an amazing cook family party...
(brace yourselves, this could be the longest post of your life)
but not just any party.
it was an ugly sweater party!!!
please look....
dad and marianne...
andy...
he secretly like his sweater and told me he went to town in it that day.
(from the left)...kassie, mike, kristy and ty
rev, cat, jill, jose, andy, gusta and sway
kass, tynlei and marianne
sierra (the host) and dad (again)
grandma and grandpa
(you know we look good)
and then along came the food...
(i bet you are watering in your mouth right about now)
and the games...
sierra had all the kidos go on the back porch to color on a poster for our grandma great (who wasn't able to come) and we had our selves a couples game (aka, the newly wed game)
sierra... the host
i can't remember all the questions, but one of the ones she asked the ladies was "what's one habit you can't stand that your man does?" (or something to that effect)
and then she asked us gals. and i said "when ryan doesn't dry his hands after he washes them"
ryan was giggling to himself at this time, and we could all guess that that wasn't the answer he wrote down.
what he thought the answer was, when he forgets to flush!
HOW COULD I FORGET THAT ONE??
first kid game was the unwrapping gift relay.
and there was a box wrapped inside a box wrapped inside another box.
(harmless little flea. i'll put that flea inside a box and then i'll put that box inside of another box and i'll mail that box to myself... and when it arives!... i'll smash it with a hamer!!! (name that movie))
the kids totally had a blast.
the rules were that you had to put one arm behind your back and you would have to run over to the wrapped gift and rip a piece of wrapping paper off and then run back and tag a teammate until you reach the inside where the prizes were.
fantastic job guys!
here is the poster they made for grandma great....
it's beautiful you guys!!! i bet grandma great just loves it.
hey sway, nice sweater you got there... you wear it ever so nicely.
FINAL GAME!!!!
(i'll have you know this partay lasted over 7 hours)
guess what game we played last but not least.....
50 bandaids. (sierra made this one up, it's pretty self explanatory)
dizzy mummy...
elephant march...
baboom...
penny hose...
i promise this next picture isn't what it appears to be...
(kristy almost won, but her sleeve got caught and the panty hose wouldn't come off)
stick balls.... (yes that's really the name, you can't make this crap up)
see the marble stick to the double sided tape....?
hanky panky...

(it really did get scary at the end when it was too tight too pull of their heads and had to resort to scissors that my dad could barely fit under the rubber bands, sway got light headed and saw spots for a while)
