What a Wonderful Weekend

We had such a wonderful weekend. This is going to be varily long post, so please bare with me. Pictures and yes, VIDEOS are posted too, these are must sees. Anyway Friday night, we went to the 4-H building in Martin County to get it set up for the Mattingly Christmas Party on Saturday. Then Mom and I made a late night trip to Wal-Mart to get all the last minute items for the games. Saturday morning I had to get up bright and early to go for the Senior Vikette Practice (they are performing to "I Can Only Imagine" at the Boy's Varsity Game on Tuesday). Then it was back home to get everything ready to go the Mattingly Christmas Party. It was really great to see everyone together again, watching the children running around, and just enjoying the time. My Aunt Brenda and Uncle Mike brought pictures that they have collected over the years. How the memories kept flowing back? Some of those memories some us might have wanted to forget, but most of them were great to see how we were back then and how we are now. It was great...Thanks:) After lunch, Mom printed out some wonderful games for all of us to play. And they were quite comical. The first game was "Dress up Santa". There were 2 groups of 4. They had pieces of red table cover (plastic), pieces of betting to make the white on the sleeves and coat, and pieces of black poster board for the belt. Once they had the Santa Dressed up, they had to put petrolum jelly on their face and race to the next table, where the cotton balls (Santa's Beard) were, they had to stick their face into the bowl of cotton balls, run to the chair where the Santa Hat was, put it on and say "Ho, Ho, Ho". It was a blast. Video Posted below. The next game we played was "Rudolph's Antlers". This one we had 3 teams of four. The material they had to use was. Panty hoes, balloons, string, and blinking red noses. Each Rudolph had to put their blinking nose on and when we said go, they had to put the panty hoes over their head (there was a 5" hole for the face) then your partners had to blow up balloons and put them through the opening at the toes of the panty hoes and continue to do that until the time was up (5 minutes). This was hilarious too. Of course, my man Matt, Grant, Amanda, and Derek WON!!!! Well they had to show off Matt's nice RACK and went to the highway and waved at the travelers. Got some HONKS!!!
