December 18th, Sunday all day and into the night. Our Cook family celebration

We put Chiquita's Christmas outfit on with the antlers.  She walked with her head down like she was being punished.  We took it off after a few pictures and then she was back to her happy self again.

I could not get her to look up for a picture, she was so sad with the antlers on.  She does look like a "little deer".
Sunday December 18th was our family Christmas celebration with the kids, we did lots of fun things.  Here we started playing games the first game we played was called "Scene It". We put the kids to bed after our Christmas dinner and opening presents.


After the kids were in bed we played some Christmas "Minute to Win it" games.  The first one was you had to bounce aping pong balls into three glasses before the timer went off in 1 minute.  Each team had 3 glasses and raced each other. Unfortunately several of us got 2 out of 3 glasses, no one won.  But it was fun trying.

Another game was "bottle caps" you had 1 minute to stack bottle caps on top of the bottle without having the caps fall.  We made couple teams.  for example each couple would take turns stacking the caps on the bottle.  Joe and Sharae won several times.  Ash and Jess won once and Bill and I did not win (just shows how we are slowing down with age)

This is what Bill and my bottle cap tower looked like before it fell-NICE TRY!!!!

Rae and Joe are the BOMB!!

The last game we did was we took a Christmas bulb and a Christmas box and waved it over the ornament to make it roll onto the Christmas "X" marks the spot.  I did terrible.  Again Sharae and Joe had this game mastered.  Joe's theory was to wave the box downward instead of upward to move the ornament and it worked best. 

We laughed and had a good time anyway.  It is fun to think up fun games.  The kids like to play games.

Another game we played was called "LIKEWISE"  you draw 2 cards and if it says doodle then you draw a picture of what you think others would draw.  Sharae and Ashley are truly sisters, they doodled the same picture.  The card said "Legendary Villain."  So they both drew a horse and a stick villain with the same kind of hat.  We laughed so hard because they were exactly alike in detail.

Not only did they doodle the same picture once,  They did it again on another turn.  The card read "Unhealthy snack for kids".  They both doodled potato chips, but the funny part was they drew the chips falling out of the bag.  Who but sisters could do that.  They think the same sometimes.
WE ALSO PLAYED "JUST DANE 3" THAT SANTA BROUGHT THE COOKS.
