Christmas Eve

Mike's parents, Gene and Karen, arrived last night to spend the Christmas holiday with us. It will be fun to have them around and to have a change of pace.

Christmas Eve, Mike and I, and his family went over to his Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner.

After dinner Joy gave Mike and Greg their Christmas present (if you can call it that.) It was packaged...

OCTOPUS

Joy, Greg, and Karen were willing to give it a try. The rest of us were trying as hard as we could to not vomit everywhere. Mike was funny about the whole. Joy stated that Mike had to eat some since she did. He continued to try but when he would get it close to his mouth he'd back out. One time he actually put it in his mouth and then spit it right back out. Karen suggested for him to try to cut off a piece instead of eating the whole thing. He did so and managed a small chew and quickly swallowed it as fast as he could. Let's say I didn't kiss that gross mouth for quite some time.

We then played the candy bar game. I love this game...particularly because it involves candy!!! I was pretty lucky because I ended up winning a king size Hershey Bar with Almonds. MmMmM!!!!

All in all it was a good evening! Lots of good food, good company, good games, good entertainment, etc.
