Belated Merry Christmas!

Well, my first Christmas in Iowa. Of course, we did all our shopping last minute. The last present was bought Christmas Eve. On the 22nd, we had our Hooyer Party. BOWLING!!! FOOD!!! SKIT!!! BOGGLE!!! APPLES TO APPLES!!! RESISTING GOING MAD!!! It was fun. Actually, the guy there (supervising, helping, or going slowly mad) was the same as last year. I was very surprised. We actually had it at 8 in the morning instead of at night. Needless to say, we all came late. Here's me playing Apples to Apples with one of my favoritest Aunts. I like this picture of my cousins and my dad. (Dad, Jolee, and Kayloni) Jolee is wearing my dad's glasses. The next picture is of Jolee and Ethan. Very cute. The next pic is of our Christmas play we put on every year. Also a picture of the sheep.

After the the Party, we went to my Aunt Sarah's house. There I played Cranium and came in last! I hate humdingers!

On Christmas we opened presents. I got movies, music, and misc. I finally found the picture of the dog! If you can't tell, I had fun with pictures.
Well, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

haha, it takes a lot of pictures to capture the essence of Hooyer christmas ... good job :)

Becka said...

thanks Heather :) Actually, any time is ok with me! I would love having you here! One thing to consider is the weather. If you guys have a week in mind, see if you can check the forecast. Right after a snow, the back roads can be nasty.

Lisabeth said...

Ok, I'll have to check it out! We'll let you know if we come up with a potential weekend.

u will also learn some 'history' from it. sorry if it sounds dumbed down though, it couldn't fit 'more than 400 characters'. i had to shorten words and cut out some things.

I do believe that I took all those pictures (except the one with the dog). All praise goes to me.
