Christmas 2009

This year for Christmas Mike and I decided to spend it with his side.

On Christmas Eve we went to Krystal's house for a potato bar dinner. We then played a Christmas version of the "Match Game." Krystal was the host and she gave the constants (Mom S and Auntie Marsha) part of a quote from a Christmas movie or item. Then everyone else came up with something and wrote it down. The contestant then said their response and had to try and match what we had written down. It took a little while to get going, but ended up being a lot of fun. To make it a little more interesting some of us answered as if we were another character and then made them guess who we were.

We then split into two groups where one decorated cookies and the other played the game "Settlers of Catan." Then we watched "Mikey's Christmas Carol" until Mom S, Auntie Marsha, Mike and I decided to go to the Christmas Eve service at church. It is always nice to go and hear and bells being rang in at midnight.

On Christmas Mike and I decided to stay home in the morning and just open presents. I also cooked crepes for breakfast.

At around 11pm we packed the car up and headed to Mike's Moms for presents, dinner and fun.

Christopher opening his gifts.

We played a new game Mom got called "Would you rather..." Here are some funny things we had to do:

Auntie holding her tongue for a round.




Mom holding a soon in her mouth for a round.

Scott "butt dancing" for 30 seconds.

Me (Michelle) humming and dancing for 30 seconds (no music).


Just a cute pic. Auntie with Christopher!




At around 7pm Krystal, Megan, Scott, Mike and I headed over to Dad H's to open presents with them.

Mike and I then headed home to rest before another busy day.

On Saturday Mike and I decided to go see the movie "Avatar" in 3-D. It was a great movie. The theater was sold out. This was the first time I have seen an actually movie in 3-D. I have been on the 3-D rides and seen some short films, but this was the first full length movie.The graphics and colors were great. If you haven't seen it I definitely recommend it.

After we got out of the movies I called my brother Kyle and him and his wife Stacy came over to the house for a while. It was nice to talk with them since we seem to have a hard time getting together.

Then we went to my parents house to exchange gifts with my parents and Tallene and Mac's family.

A busy, relaxing, fun weekend!
