Ops Christmas Party

We just had the best Christmas Party with Jeremy's Soldiers. We ate a delicious dinner and played games until our bellies hurt from laughing so much. Jeremy works with some awesome people and we just love hanging out with them and their families. Thanks for helping our holidays be so Merry and Bright! MEOW Ops Family!

Sitting down for dinner.
We made Italian Sausage Soup, Rolls, Veggies with hummus, Chips and guacamole.
I made yummy Fudge, Britt brought Red velvet cupcakes that were delicious.  Lindsey brought a snickers truffle that was super yummy. Sandra brought a yummy bread wreath, Amy brought chex mix for playing games.  We were so full with lots of yummy food, snacks, and desserts.  

We played a couple Christmas games.  The first one was a Paper plate Game.
I read some instructions like draw a line, next draw a christmas tree, and decorations on  your tree,
Then draw a mantle and hang stockings on you mantle, decorate your stocking,
draw a present under your tree. and a star on your christmas tree.  After they are finished drawing you tally up the points and see who got the most.

The next game was a Boys against Girls.  It was a fun game that included drawing Christmas Carols and trying to have your team guess your drawing. 

Britt and Chandler drawing carols for us to guess.
Super fun Game.

White Elephant gift exchange game.
We had everyone bring a "Funny" white elephant gift.  We read a fun story and they had to pass their presents to the right, left, and across until he end of the story.  When it was over the present they were left with was the one they got to open.

I think everyone had a great time.  There were lots of laughs and presents going all over.  Super fun!

Look what Lindsey got.  So fun.

Josh was a wonderful sport.  

So this picture is one of my favorites.
Look at Chandler and Kayden's faces as Josh opened  his Frau.

Chandler, was giving Evan some tips on opening his present. 

Evan got an alligator in a tutu.  It really was adorable.

There is a story behind this laugh.  At dinner Lindsey told us of a fun tradition her family has
every year they do a white elephant gift exchange with her family.  And every year this hand shows up and someone new has to keep this hand for the following year. So when I opened my gift and saw a Hulk Hand I was laughing so hard.
Traditions are so fun and it's even better when you have friends to share them with. 

This Gift was so perfect for Amy because she lives in the Barracks and has been struggling with cooking with her limited kitchen.  So to get a play kitchen was super fabulous.

Amy, Laughing at her PERFECT gift. 

Jeremy, opening his gift.

I love this smile and I love this MAN!

Britt got some awesome Bathroom reading and some barb-wire toilet paper.

Next we play curses.  Oh man this game is HILARIOUS!
Josh, took Lindsey's wand and put a curse on Matt.

Jeremy was showing off some of his karate movies,  Ha!

Lindsey, is acting.  I have to give her props. I think she had the most curse tonight and she rocked
them all.  Every time the bell rang she had to faint.  She did such an awesome job.  

Brit and Brooklyn acting.  

Here we are ready to play SCUM! One of my favorite games.

Our group minus Kayden who is taking the picture.

Britt, loved her stress ball Steve.  Super cute pictures of the three of you.
Josh we see you with your bunny ears.
