The Comings & Goings of Nate & Becca: Christmas Party

We've started the tradition of having our own "Annual Sommers Christmas Party".... aka "Ribfest and Nate & Becca's".
Last year we had some couples over for a christmas rib dinner and bingo. It was such a hit, we had to plan it again this year. This year even more came and even more food was devoured :-)!
This year we had 11 people. It would have been 13, but a couple is out of the country on a mission trip. We chowed down on some ribs and other good food.
Played Christmas Bingo; with lots of fun gifts this year.....

Then played some "figure out the secret game" like "selling apples", "pick the book", and my personal favorite "who has the towel". Some figured out the "trick" of the game, and some didn't. Those that didn't will just have to wait till next year :-).
Now onto some pictures of course....

Missy (baby alvarado) and Roberto

Christina NOT figuring out the secret of the game

Cheryl enjoying herself while Roger concentrates hard to figure out the secret :-)

Come on Roger....don't rule out the obvious

I'm selling "mighty fine apples"

Apparantly Chris and Sharon find it funny....

This year we had our first ever cookie and dessert contest. Everyone brought a cookie and dessert, then we voted for our favorite. The winners got to take home a ghetto, home-made trophy to have and to hold, and to bring back next year. This year Sharon took home BOTH trophies! :-)

And so the night came to a close but not before we took some group pictures... This year everyone was "almost" on time :-) so the food didn't get "too" cold..... and the last left at 11:30. All in all, this year was a fun success - and we're already looking forward to 2009. +

Can you sell apples??
