Holiday Bash at the Gossetts'

Tonight, Corey and I ventured over to Chris and Natalie's house in Kirkland for the Gossett Holiday Party. Many of Natalie and Chris' college friends were there, along with the Reeders and Matt Hunt and his girlfriend. It started out with an awesome dinner made by Natalie and was followed up by a dessert bar which was created by all the party attendees who each brought a holiday dessert to share. In addition to the remaining dessert that everyone got to split up and take home, Natalie sent all the dog owners home with some homemade milkbones. Can't wait to see what Roxy thinks!

After we were all successfully in food comas, we played a fun game where we split up into two groups - guys and girls. Each team got to choose one member of the opposite sex to join their team. Then each team was given a bag of crafty goodies and had 15 minutes to create a Santa costume for one member of the team. While our Santa costume was definitely the best (of course!), the male team + Natalie won (one of the kids - Wendy & Brett's son - was the judge).

Finally, we played some fun Xbox games including Lips, a karaoke game that was a blast. I've already asked for it for Valentine's Day.

All in all, we had a great time and it couldn't have been a more perfect night for a holiday party - when we got out to our cars, they were covered in snow.

Here are some photos from our night. The rest are here.

Reading through our instructions and assessing the materials we had to create Santa.

All done! Looks pretty good, right?

The winning Santa - he's a little Transformer-like to me, don't you think?! ;)

For a holiday party, you need snow, right?
