For John and Angela- Part One: Christmas



Chris' brother and sister-in-law have been so faithful and generous as to send us gifts from afar.
While we were in Oklahoma we opened our Christmas presents (since we won't be going back for Christmas we just 'do' Christmas when we'll all be together). Since they couldn't be there, this post is for them. A play by play, if you will.


I'm sure this doesn't need too much narration. . .

But here's Steve already reading the instructions and opening the first box.

And the suspense builds. . .


What could be in there???



And the crowd goes wild!


We love games! And for those of you who are going 'huh?' the four King kids used to watch the all day marathon of A Christmas Story for 24 hours. No joke.


And here's Carol reading what pieces there are and places and all that fun stuff.

While Steve opens the next box. . .


And it's. . . it's. . . I can't even pronounce the name of that game!

What in the world???



We set it up to play. . .


And slowly but surely start to understand. . .

Of course Chris wins this one!
And now we're addicted - so THANK YOU!

(For those of you who want to know - the game's name is Settlers of Catan. Get it, stick with it. You'll be glad you did!)


This one's proof we're addicted - we sucked my brother into playing it a few times at my Grandma's house, too!

Next up will be Karis' birthday.
