I volunteered to prepare lunch for our missionary Christmas party. We planned to have a sandwich bar - I figured this would be pretty simple. Well, nothing is simple in Georgia! We left the apartment around 10 on Friday morning with my shopping list in hand and E. Reese had our 2 big shopping bags. A 20 minute walk, a metro ride, a looooong bus ride and 4 hours later we were finally back home with almost everything on the list! I got most of it prepared a head of time - here is my kitchen help on Saturday cutting the fruit for the salad.
We played a couple of fun games. This is the draw the snowman when you roll the right numbers. We also had fun with the steal the candybar when you roll doubles game - with the twist that you had to put on a hat, scarf and gloves before you could steal it.
Of course no Christmas party is complete without the white elephant gifts. I opened a lovely crown (that we used for a wiseman in the Nativity) and a spongebob backpack. E. Reese chose a tie holder. There were some interesting gifts!
The luncheon was really good and we had lots of leftovers - so the Missionaries came over after church the next day and feasted again! Here is a picture of our missionarie acting goofy!
After lunch we had a good spiritual message and then watched the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life' and I have to agree - it truly is!!!

Christy brought the snowman game to the Christmas Eve party-it was lots of fun! Aunt Terese and Cirbie brought a version of the steal the candybar game (she had small gifts instead of candybars) and it too was lots of fun!
