Christmas Cheer!

The Sat after Christmas was our gift exchange w/ Dad & Diane. We...meaning everyone but Brandon cuz he was in CR...went over to Diane's & ordered some pizza for dinner. Everyone really liked their gifts! We got Dad & Diane a gnome to display at the camper. He's way cute! ;) Anna & I found him at Hobby Lobby but we are still in need of a name! (Suggestions are welcome!!)

(I love the enthusiastic smile Gerard!)

(Anna took over for Jerod w/ the finger & the scowl!)

(Alyssa is a Siebel now too!)

(I don't even know...)




(I'm pretty sure they like him!!)


(He's a Peeping-Tom!!)

(It's Go Chloe NOT Go Fish!!)

They had just cleaned out the garage so our party was centralized in there. Cement floors...perfect for Beer Pong & Flippy Cup!! The makeshift Beer Pong table was made up of a small table w/ a long board laid on top of it to allow some space between the cups. Anna taught Dad & Diane how to play. I don't know if it was beginners luck or what but they kicked ass as it!! Flippy Cup was a different story..... There was Dad, Diane, & Alyssa against Andy (Diane's son), Nick, & I...w/ Chloe on the end drinking water mind you...& we beat them over & over again. I'm guessing their beginners luck must have run out w/ the Beer Pong! ;)

(Some good old Hacky Sack!)





(I'm glad that they know how to share!)

(Leave some for us!!)

(Andy taking a turn!)

(Tada!!)

(Kiss! Kiss!)

(She for real bit my face & it for real hurt!!)

(What the eff??)

(She couldn't spit it out!! That would be alcohol abuse!!)

(Filler up!)



(Don't hate us cuz you aint us!!)


(Poor Gerard! ATTACK!!)


(That would be beef jerky on her tongue...nice huh??)


(Oh the excitement!! Did you notice Dad's bib?!? :)

(She kicked but at flippin that cup!!)

(What's so funny?!?)

We busted out the Duck Farts again but Dad accidentally called them Dick Farts!! Nice! I was laughing so hard I thought I was gonna piss myself! So was Diane. We were both on the kitchen floor trying to breath! Andy didn't care much though. He just shrugged & said, "I'll have one." all calm & stuff. This just made me laugh even harder so I was crying at that point! (It may not sound to funny reading it. I guess it's one of those you had to be there kinda moments!) We ended up running out of one of the Duck Fart ingredients so Dad decided to just mix some stuff together & the Duck Shart was born!! They looked pretty nasty but I had two anyway!! ;D They actually didn't taste to bad!

(The Dark Shart...)

(The Duck Shart??)

The next day was a lazy sort of day. I just hung out at home until it was time to meet up with Nick's family for dinner. His cousin Erica was in town from Colorado so we all met up at The OP. It was nice to see everyone! The food was crappy but it was fun catching up!! (Waterloo OP bad...except for pizza! Go CF!!)

(Grant, Brian, & Nick)

(Teresa's sister Nancy & her hubby Barry.)


(Me, Erica, Nicole, & Amy)

(Shootum up!)

P.S. I saw Nights In Rodanthe the following Mon. LOVE Diane Lane & LOVE Richard Gere but not lovin the movie so much. I figured since I love The Notebook I would love this movie too but that's a big NO! The ending sucked! Just FYI! Do you think I should throw just one more LOVE into this paragraph...LOVE!! (I know, I know...I'm an idiot!! ;)
