Connect Group Christmas

In early December, our Connect Group from church had our Christmas dinner and party. We had a lot of fun and I got some cute pictures of everyone. The lighting isn't great in this room, but it'll give you an idea of our evening with our friends.

Here are some pictures of a game we played. Everyone sat in a circle and rolled the dice (actually, our kids lost one of our dice before we got to church so we had to use music instead, but the rule is...) and when you got a double, you ran to the middle of the circle, put on the hat and gloves and unwrap the gift (which is difficult to do with the gloves on) until the next person rolls a double. It's funny because some times, you have quite a while to unwrap the gift and yet sometimes, you hardly get the gloves on and your turn is over. Of course there are multiple wrapped boxes which you find out, too!

Patiently waiting.....

Lily Grace's turn

Does Julianna look bored?

Harrison's turn

The Warren family (the other Warren's - which is now somewhat confusing to some people at church - especially when we sign up for dinner or pass out Christmas cards!!! :-)

Julianna wanted a turn but wanted NO part in the hat & gloves

Go Sara!!!

Even Kennedy took a turn and her big brother Grant helped out

Molly wins the prize - $5.00!!!

This next game was where the boys put on the clothes and their teammates took turns running and stuffing a balloon into the clothes. The team with the most balloons in the clothes won. They kids loved this one!

Christian & Brayden before the game began

Heather helping out (she couldn't help herself - I think she's got some competitiveness to her!!)

After the game

Love this picture - they had so much fun!

This is another game we played. It was a snowball race - you had your shovel and you had to scoop the snow and race down to the pan. This is funny - this is Lily Grace & Julianna!!
