Christmas/New Year celebration at the Grandparents house

Last night we went to my inlaw's house for a late Christmas/ early New Year's celebration.  We had intended for these to be seperate events but, my father-in-law contracted the flu and it landed him in bed for a week so all plans were put on hold.

We had a wonderful dinner and gift opening!  

The grandparents always make it special for the kiddos by doing something out of the ordinary .... this year it was a scavenger hunt.   Each child had 4 envelopes that they had to find.... every child was given their own color and had to find their envelopes that were hidden all over the house.  When every child had found all of their envelopes then they were permitted to open them.  To their surprise, each envelope contained a crisp new $5 bill!  :)  They were all thrilled!

The evening lasted until 10 pm and we were all exhausted and filled to the brim with cookies, pie and many other treats!  A great time was had by all .  :)

Now....on to the new year and more new events and memories to be made!

I pray that you all have a safe and exciting New Years Eve!
