So, anyway, we had loads of fun with everyone. We had a German Christmas dinner to celebrate our German heritage. We tried lots of German food and even liked some of it. We made a list of the ancestry we have to celebrate and we'll rotate and try new fun foods again in two years.
I made several kinds of cookies (mostly German) and Mia helped me finish off the Hausfreunde. Yum!
Cora was a big fan of the cookies!
It was so nice to have so many of us together!
We had our Raclette dinner which is always fun. But not as fun as fondue. Per the boys.
But still fun and delicious.
And we sneakily got a picture of Tyler.
And had a lovely Nativity pageant.
Even Bosky came to Christmas!
And then we made Ninjabread men. Some of them even included hairy armpits.
And we'll just leave that right there.
I'm not sure what's happening here but it looks a little fiendish...
I think perhaps the kids thought this was Halloween instead of Christmas... ;)
If there's leftover frosting there's only one thing to do!
And then there was the epic Nerf gun war! Just in case you're wondering those little darts hurt! And boys who are under the age of 20 had way bigger and badder guns than the rest of us. I think we better start saving now for a Nerf bazookas for the next war. That way I'll have a fighting chance.
The girls had a fun sock exchange - the challenge was to find fun socks that aren't goofy, just enjoyable. I think we did pretty good:
The boys made a fort.
And we played games and laughed and had a great time wrapping up 2016!
We wrote down a few notes about 2016 and ideas for 2017.
Can't wait to have a big ol' Wild party again! It's always so much fun!!
