our food theme was Italian. We had three different Italian dishes, with garlic bread, salads, steamed veggies, and desserts...with a 's'. We always have lots of desserts. After dinner the girls opened their presents from Nana Ann and Papa Randy. They each got an outfit, cabbage patch baby and a rocking chair. They love their presents and play with them daily.Next is games. We play a few games each year. First game we played was Bad/Good 
Santa. Every couple brings one good santa gift, and one bad santa gift. Mason is in charge of our gifts every year because we just don't have the same taste in the bad santa area. My parents invited my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dennis over to celebrate with us also. My Uncle Dennis went home with our bad santa gift...a jockstrap and buttpaste. He was the perfect one to open and keep the gift as he is quite comical in some of his comments. (For those of you that know him, you know what I mean!) I ended up with a bad santa gift as well...an Antique Clown Bank. Which is actually scary looking...thanks Rochelle :)
Next we played a game, Who knows who better? Girls against boys. We asked various questions about ourselves and the other had to answer. We had catagories like
Medical questions (how many broken bones, what did I get stuck up my nose when I was little, etc) ; Entertainment (who is my favorite cartoon character, favorite sports team, etc) ; and we also had a more catagories. Of course like always....the girls won. It is safe to say that we pay way more attention to the guys than they do to us!! Our final game is one that Ashley is in charge of. She wraps a gift in a box then into a bigger box, and so on. You all sit in a circle around this multi-time wrapped present and roll dice. When you get double you pass the dice to the next person, then put on a hat, scarf, and mittens. Once those items are on...you can try to open the first layer. It is very entertaining to watch as it can get quite rough as people get competative. Nick and Rochelle won that game this year. All in all we have a fun night. The girls also received more gifts from Aunts and Uncles. Ashley got them a 
puzzle of themselves and some books, nick and Ro got them books and their early christmas dresses.
