This was pretty stinkin cool. We stole/borrowed the Israel family tradition of having a ginger bread house building contest. My team totally dominated, however, that is the next post. I didn't want to overload you with too many photos. So it was the Israels, the Stevens and one Marcellus along with a gazillion (slight exaggeration, but it felt like that many in our little office) Serb friends. We ate good food, watched a wonderful version of the Christmas story, and then my team dominated. Look at this:
This is what I always imagined Christmas looked like.
All of the amazing food that Jen and Randi prepared. They were incredible with their planning and cooking and decorating. It put Good Housekeeping to shame.
More food. You can tell we were excited.
The men hooking up the mac and projector in order to show the movie.
Personified cookies. Check out those melty snowmen in the back. They look awfully cute and familiar, huh?
The kids getting started in the bigger room.
So much excitement and random candy decorations!
This was a fort/zoo/something/something/something else. They had very little self control when it came to decorations and design.
The girls being so pretty and precise.
So excited about the castle and tree they had made.
It was a huge gigantic mess.
Like tiny toiling elves.
The parents stayed as far from the mess and as close to the food as possible.
He's on a level of cool that you can never hope to reach.
Him, not so much. Also, squirrel.
So we had a ton of food and building fun/fierce competition and creative genius and then we watched this film. Jen put this together, I take no credit whatsoever. I simply blog...usually late.
You really have to watch this. There are so many wonderful moments in it...also, its about Jesus. Win/Win.
