Spending Christmas Eve at the Fox's House

We were graciously invited to the Fox's house for Christmas Eve! We went through a Bible devotion about Christmas and talked about Christmas and what it means to us. Then we sang a couple of Christmas Carols with the Fox girls accompanying us with their instruments. We talked and eat snacks they provided after the devotion. We played this awesome game (mostly cause it is all about whacking people with newspaper!) called Animals. And then we played four on a couch in which my team (Megan, Morgan, Leah, and I) won! We had to leave, because Noah was getting sleepy. A big thank you goes out to the Foxs!

Animals:

1.Everyone picks a animal that they are going to be and the sound that it makes (i.e. Dog - Ruff)

2.Pick someone to be it and he will stand in the middle, and the rest will sit in a circle around the person.

3.Someone sitting in the circle will say a sound of an animal that was picked by the other players.

4.Whomever's sound was said now has to say another animal sound before the person in the middle hits them with the newspaper stick.

5.Repeat 3 and 4 until someone is hit before saying a sound.

6.The person who got hit is now it and the one that was it will now sit down where the person who got it was

7. Before the person sits down, they must call out a sound or else the now it person can hit them and they are it again

8.If a person says the animal sound of the it person, then that person is now it

Mom and Dad's Birthday

Dad had his Birthday on the 2nd of this month and my mom had hers on the 11th! For Dad’s special treat we had stuffed mushrooms, and Dad got Mom a dozen of roses for mom’s gift! Here are some pictures of them.

Thanksgiving!

This is quite a bit late but here we go! My family and I spent time with each other on Thanksgiving. We made the dinner together and let mom rest after making the Turkey. Our dinner was fabulous, like always, with dressing, seven layer salad, mash potatoes, green beans with dried French onions on them, Turkey, and the Pumpkin and Pecan pie! We played with each other the rest of the day. We also got around to playing one of our favorite board games, Settlers of Catan, which Bethany ended up winning fair and square. You can see more pictures here.

English Country Dancing at the Idaho Historical Museum

Bethany and I were asked to be apart of some dancing at the Idaho Historical Museum's Fund raiser with the Idaho Civil War Volunteers. It was last Saturday at 6:30pm - 9:30pm! The Museum provided refreshments and all we had to do it dance! It was a very fun and exhausting evening!
