Ornamania

One of the fun parts about this time of year is getting together with friends.  Our Growth Group from church had our annual Christmas party last weekend.  The Palmers graciously opened up their home for us and of course Gretchen had everything looking beautiful.  Don't you love her center piece?  She made it!  We had tons of good food and desserts.  

Cole and I are so thankful to have such a great group of friends in our class.

 It is always nice when we can get together and visit.

 These two are trouble!

 One of our traditions at this party is to play a ornament exchange game called Ornamania.  Each year there are different rules.  Gretchen and Hannah did a great job of explaining.  This year it was based around the show "Minute To Win It."  There were a series of competitions that decided whether we got to pick a new ornament or keep the one we opened in the beginning.

There were lots of laughs watching people do the crazy events.

At the end we also vote on different categories for the ornaments (Most Beautiful, Most Zany, Best in Show).  Cole and I took home the "Best in Show" prize for bringing a frame ornament with a picture of Robert inside.  It was a great night!
