Sister Christmas

Fabulous Purple hat knitted by cousin Madi.

On Sunday afternoon, we had the pleasure of celebrating Christmas with my sisters and their families. We held onto our gifts for Jack and Sam who couldn't make this event, which in the end, I think they might be thankful they missed this one!

All of the children were so proud of their new personalized aprons! I can't wait to see our four in the kitchen baking away with them! Thank you Grandmami! Check out Alyssa's head band and Yuliya's hat that Madi so thoughtfully fashioned for them! 

It is also worth nothing that the three littles looking off to the side were watching Aunt Amy's wild wild chimpanzee impression. :)

 After dinner, the family gathered around and "played" Beanboozled! You better believe that yours truly kept her mouth sealed tighter than a bank vault!  In case you haven't heard of this game. Here are the basics...
Lift the lid, lower the lid and like that magic a bean appears! Is the black jelly bean Licorice, or is it Skunk Spray? Perhaps the blue bean is Toothpaste flavor, or maybe it's delicious Berry Blue. BeanBoozled jelly beans come in 20 flavors, 10 weird and wild flavors matched up with 10 look-alike tasty flavors.  Wacky flavor pairings include: 

• Stinky Socks - Tutti-Fruitti 
• Lawn Clippings - Lime 
• Rotten Egg - Buttered Popcorn 
• Toothpaste - Berry Blue 
• Barf - Peach 
• Canned Dog Food - Chocolate Pudding 
• Booger - Juicy Pear 
• Moldy Cheese - Caramel Corn 
• Baby Wipes - Coconut 
• Skunk Spray - Licorice

Kaitlyn realizing that she just ate Skunk Spray, she was a trooper and ate all of the good as well as the bad. 

Rotten egg for Madi!

Booger for Keith!

Vomit for Amy!

....And back to normal

Merry Christmas from Alyssa, Yuliya, and Kaitlyn!
