Open House

Up in Washington over the Christmas Break we had an Open House.  It was really simple and fun.  I got pictures of the declarations but nothing else.  Roses and ivy for center pieces.  There was food.  But I don't remember what.  I do remember we had cookies.  But we had real food as well.  I have such a bad memory.  But It was nice.  I do remember that.

No I lied. . .

Well you only thought I was done with Christmas; Well you were wrong. 
Well in the beginning of the decade the Anderson family made a time capsule to open at the end of the decade.  So we did.  It was fun seeing what people predicted.  What the world would be like, what the family would be like, in 2009.  But it was more fun listening to how people use to be in 2000.  Anyways they got together and shared the things they had written.  They also saved a couple of newspapers.  One of the kids wanted us to see what pens and pencils (and I think tape too) used to look like.  Unfortunately then still look the same.  And I did take some pictures!

Dad reading his.

 

Erin reading hers.

Zach thinks he's sooo Hilarious as a 7 year old (?, I think that's the age he wrote it).

 

Kylee reading what she told Mom to write.

Well we all made a new time piece to open up in, I guess, 2019.  10 years is actually a long time.

Griggs Sale

 

Michael, Zach, Kylee, Courtney, Erin, and David playing cards at Griggs all night Sale.  It's a weird concept to get your head around; playing card in a store, on card tables that people want to buy. 

This is me tired. (Michael says 'but cute').  I go to bed at Ten.  but it was fun.

And I think that is the end of the Christmas pictures that I have.

And Games. . .Lots of Games

 

Michael, Erin, David, Conner, Courtney, and I playing Blockus.  David and Erin, Michael and I were on a team.  I think that it is a very fun game to play. 

  

Michael and Conner playing Smash brothers I'm sure, or something on the Wii.  Those bothers like playing Smash Brothers.

Yeah, pretty common sight.

Well, this scrabble game started out Legit. Then they started to get words like Aclover, RayUzzi. I could play that kind of game. 

 

Here Michael, Zach, Erin, and Kylee are playing scum.  They tried to get  me to play but I didn't remember how to play.  It was a game I always watch AJ and James play with their friends.  And I didn't feel like making choices at that time.

Many Types of Cookies

Erin, Kaitlin, Kylee, and I forming some cookies together while watching something on the laptop.  I forgot what though.

 

Kylee and Kaitlin decorating Ginger people.

I helped make the Ginger Bread Cookies.  We used a european recipe so everything was in grams and liters. They also had us rest the dough in the fridge. I thought that was funny.
