The annual Groneman Christmas Party was a balloon-stomping, ping-pong ball blowing, white elephant exchanging, face-stuffing, pinata bashing (YES-- that darling snowman is a pinata that my sister-in-law Katie made!), freeze dancing affair! Highlights of the evening included:
1. My mother getting the belly dancing kit I gave as a white elephant gift (complete with a "Best of Belly Dancing" music CD, instructional book, and castanets).
2. Ty attacking the the pinata with unrestrained joy (a complete contrast to Benjamin's horror about hitting a pinata at the same age. His cousin who is the same age was also scared to hit it. Should I be worried???).
3. Uncle Chad breaking the unbreakable pinata by sitting on it (wish I'd had the camera rolling!).
It was a great time! How fun to be back where we can participate in these holiday traditions again!
It has been WONDERFUL to have the Dastrup clan around for these type of shindigs this year. (Now if we could only get the Nelson's here). I want to complain about the belly dancing kit. I thought it would include the outfit pictured on the front of the box but it doesn't :-(
ReplyDeleteI will make an outfit for ya Gramps, if you will use it and the rest of the ensemble Christa so graciously provided, to entertain us at Christmas next year!
ReplyDeleteI am with GRAMPS . It is GREAT to have ya back!
No, no, no! The outfit is for YOU! I didn't get stuck with the belly dancing kit. YOU did! I got the eggciting box.
