My Aunt Gloria and Harriet were very smart, they had everything packaged up with the recipe included! Thank you!!!

Now, no one was home to take the picture, unless it was one of us. I don't know how to do the timer thing. Bruce had to show me before he left. Melissa had to put the camera on the tripod. here is picture #1. I couldn't see Melissa well enough so I decided to take another. Then the fun started with the boys! ........

Every year we get the bus from the office and we take everyone and go see the lights. it's so much fun and the kids get so excited. well, I do too! LOL! 
Here is Lexi, Zoe, Andrew and Eva. all in the front seat!
Here's the group of us. lots of little ones you can't see because they aren't tall enough.....
loading onto the bus....
and do line work!
Grandma love you....
Here is our crew. Lori, Cyndi, me, Terry T, Jody. Sitting is Kathy (our fearless leader) another Terry T, and another Cindy! 
Then CLR with 3 spools of thread! Judy won!!!
and we played more games......both were games Sue has played and LOTS of fun! the first was a dice game. there were more presents than people. just silly fun stuff. there were several sets of die. the rules were to roll the dice. if you got a double, you picked a present. if you didn't you passed the die. there was a 2 minute timer going. if all the presents were gone you got to steal from someone! way too much fun. the second game was with 2 packs of cards. the first pack was dealt out to everyone. the second was turned face up, one at a time. if a card turned up that you had, you got to pick a present. if there were no presents, you got to steal. we all had to bring a notion or something sewing that we don't use, but had thought it a great idea! the games were great!
Next, was our gift exchange. Mindy has been in charge. She has done an awesome job! Thanks Mindy!!! here is Terry P (short) giving to Terry S (tall).
