We decided, kinda last minute, to have a party and it was last night. I made some invites and passed them out to some great families in our new area and send some off to our friends in North Ogden. We invited like 23 families, knowing that most would not be able to make it. The RSVP's starting rolling in all week and we had 12 families show up for our 1st annual Christmas Bash. It was awesome! They all brought their cute kids, so we had a house-full and I loved it.
We played "The Candy Bar Game". Seth and Addie got upset because they didn't want to wait to get doubles to take a candy bar out of the pile......big shocker, I know. But the eventually calmed down and got the hang of it. Has anyone played this? You give everyone brown lunch sacks, put a bunch of candy bars in the middle of the circle, roll dice, when someone gets doubles, they pick a candy bar and put it in their sack. It gets tricky when they are all gone from the middle and you have to remember who took what so you can ask them for it. It is a great game for all ages!
It just amazed me how many great people I have in my life. We had some of our old friends come from North Ogden, not knowing anyone but us at the party, and it meant so much to me that they would come. Then we had so many great families that we have gotten to know since we moved here in June come, and that meant so much to Will and I, too! Thank you all for coming!! It meant the world to us!! You may never know how much it meant to us!!
A couple of families stayed until 11pm, and it was a riot! I had to get up and be at the church by 7:30am to help set up for our Ward Christmas Breakfast. I wore my pj's. I really did. I was really tired, but totally happy that we had such a great time the night before.
Merry Christmas to you all! We sure do love ya!

Thanks for having us over for a great party! We had a good time. All the kids had fun playing together making your house a mess. The girls wanted to eat their rewards from the candy bar game for breakfeast, but I held them off until the afternoon. Thanks again!
Oh man...I wish I lived in North Ogden! I love the candy bar game!
