Heikoop Christmas Day!
We all met at the chapel in the mid-morning - enjoyed a hot chocolate bar - thanks to Deanna - and after visiting for a while, had a delicious turkey meal.
The kids had fun with all the different types of chipits - and sprinkles!
The new guy there is Bobby's - now Rachel's fiancee. :)
The afternoon was full on making a real go cart with scraps and an actual motor. James had gotten all the stuff - or what we thought was all the stuff ;) and the two teams were competing against each other. It was pretty intense. :) All the guys figuring out how to put everything together - and the girls bringing the creative side... and it was fun to see how they made it all happen!
Meanwhile, us three ladies ^^ plus Tim - entertained the younger ones with a few group games.
We did a Christmas Carol Scavenger Hunt and then they had to put it all together.
Hot Potato type game with candy as a prize!
Hudson and my older two kids made a bunch of these paper snowflakes to hang all over the main room. And Sarah brought her wonderful lights to add to the ambiance.
And these ladies watched the younger ones.
Dressing up to get to the chocolate bar. :)
Watching the teams put on the finishing touches.
So the end result was that the motors were missing a part to actually make the run - otherwise these machines would have been amazing! Too bad after all that work, but it definitely kept a bunch of people occupied and working together. :)
Doing presents for the kids, after a snack supper. Then it was the annual white elephant game for the adults. :)
Then it was time for a massive cleanup, and get the kids home to bed! A wonderful start to our year.
