Bowling

I found a coupon for a bowling alley near my parents house and I thought hey that would be a cheap activity...WRONG! Do you know how much bowling is these days? It was 9$ a person per game! That's more than the movies and you have to wear someone else's shoes! We ended up paying for a party pack so we could bowl for 2 hours instead of per game. I stink at bowling, but I had fun anyways. My dad had a great game with his personal best score 180!

Christmas Eve BINGO

I'm not quite sure when this tradition started but each Christmas Eve we play BINGO...which also includes awesome BINGO prizes some highlights from this year included a box of toothpicks, Zip ties, that awesome apron Hannah is wearing, root beer flavored lip balm which Nathan refused to trade, paint yourself race car piggy bank, socks, Barbie booboo ice pack and more. My mom always finds the best prizes she thinks she's being funny, but they are rather useful gifts. We also read the story of Christ's birth after one of the Elders shared a message with us and we even sang a Christmas song together.

Christmas

Christmas Eve we went to Evan's aunt Susie's house for some yummy treats, games, singing, and even a little stand-up comedy.The nieces and nephews started an impromtu talent show, which was surprisingly entertaining and fun.Family tradition of singing carols around the piano.Opening up one Christmas Eve gift. Klinton was so cute he loved that hat and wore it almost all day long. He also was obsessed with a singing reindeer sitting in rocking chair Grandma had. All the kids had "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer" in a matter of hours.Waiting to be able to open presents. The kids had more patience than I did.
