This past Friday we did our Almeida Christmas gathering and game! Last year mom broke us into guys against girls, had us wear matching hats and sweatshirts and we had to do a scavenger hunt type thing and take pictures of each event along the way. It was a lot of fun! So when this year came around I couldn't help but wonder what we'd do next?!? So, we met at our house and and we broke into 3 teams. Team Prancer was Me, my father-in-law, my nephew Joe and Mason. And we had to each draw a gift out of a hat and then we were given 50 dollars to go to either Walgreens or Rite Aid and by the 4 gifts and which ever team got closest to 50 without going over won. So our gifts to buy were a keychain, piggy bank, money clip and a book. We went to Walgreens and everyone else went to rite aid! After pretty much having one of the workers there find everything for us we spent 48 dollars and were done in about 10 minutes... we thought we were doing great. So the next part of the plan was to meet at Mandarian Gourmet for dinner (chinese food). We got there first and we're sitting there with our team santa hats on and everyone is staring at us, then mom's team got there (mom, simon, nate and trent) then last but not least, Jen, Ed, Amanda and Waylon arrive! Dinner was fun, we took a group picture and then off to Nate and Jen's to wrap up the game. Well, we lost :-( Ed and Jen's team won first and they got movie gift cards, mom's team got 2nd and won starbucks gift cards and we got 3rd but still got DQ gift cards! Then we distributed the gifts, mom had each of the gifts we picked out, to give to one of us, I got chimes, mason got the piggy bank, ed the money clip and waylon an ornament. It was fun, then we played Catch Phrase and called it a night! Another fun Christmas with the fam!
