Blackburn Family Christmas Party


Sunday, December 21st--It's that time again! Time for the annual family Christmas party. Every year a member of the Blackburn family hosts the party. This year it was at my Aunt Maureen's house. She decided to do a soup and bread dinner (very yummy) and bought many fun treats for us all to munch on. She and my cousin, Catherine, then presented a game for us "Name that Christmas tune". We had to guess 25 different Christmas songs based on the first 4 chords of the song. It was harder than I thought (I still managed 17--phew!). At the end we do a "white elephant" gift exchange with the adults and the kids draw names. I got a piece of luggage with some "travel" foods inside, Nate got the movies "Dark Knight" and "Iron Man", Brady got a large Winnie the Pooh and Tigger stuffed animals (from Samantha/Alishia) and Elise got a beautiful Christmas dress, a Tinkerbell Fairies paper doll book, Disney Princess paper doll book and a Disney Princess story book (from Catherine/Maureen). We all had a wonderful time being together and it was a really great start to our Christmas week! Thanks, Maureen, for hosting!
