DEC. 11TH:
Pancake breakfast at Branden and Brooke's new home
Bocce ball up and down the sandy knolls of Thorpe's yard complete with fire ants that unmercifully attack "sandlefooted feet"
Murder-Mystery dinner, "Til Death Do Us Part" with everyone in costume and character for an evening of laughter (Check out Rebecca's blog-www.rebeccathorpe.blogspot.com, for more details on this event, which was voted in as an annual affair)
May your holiday gathering be as eventful and fun.

Those family pictures are great. Did you have a professional take them? Sounds like you made the most of the three days and will have many wonderful memories!
Glad you had such a wonderful time with family. Makes me tired just reading your schedule- but busy is just the way you like it. Fun to gather memories!!
All of the events sound like tons of fun! Is there any other way to play games than competitively?
Fun!
