Aunt Nancy's Christmas Party

We were so glad that Nancy could come and spend Christmas with our family this year! Nancy does a wonderful job of refunding and making money for the Lynden Christian schools. Often she sends us gifts or gift cards in the mail, especially when the kids were in college! Our family loves pizza, especially pizza from the Clover Bar in Grand Haven (this was on the "agenda" to go to Grand Haven for pizza and then come back to our house and have a special time of fun and games (which Aunt Nancy was going to provide). Well, since everyone had had their share of driving and getting cold in the snow, we ordered pizza in and then proceded for fun and games. She had a basket of gifts wrapped that ranged in price from 2 cents to $35. She asked us trivia questions, and if we got it right, we were able to pick a present from the basket......well, we had alot of fun laughing, getting to know interesting bits of trivia, and getting a gift that was unique in some way. The last trivia question to get any of the prizes that were offered that night was, "Name 10 body parts that have 3 letters, no slang, if you get what I mean?" Well, I am not going to give you the answer, unless I am forced to, let's just say, that Nick won, and picked a great fleece shirt for his wife, Jenni! Thanks Nancy -- we all had a wonderful time!!

Nick and Ben posing with the earrings that Ben won! Even tho Nick hasn't worn an earring in years, he was still able to model it!

As Hudson would say, "Thanks Aunt Nancy, even though you put me to bed before the real action started, it was nice to spend time with you!"
