Jingle Rope Climbing
Jingle has been missing his work out at the North Pole Gym these last few weeks and so tries to get in some upper muscle building as he climbs a long jingle bell strand from floor to ceiling. Go, Jingle, Go!
Gifts and Crafts
Jack made a quick gift run for a few last-minute gifts used in the 12th Annual Burgess "Twas the Night Before Christmas" gift swapping game. We collect odd-ball, small, fun gifts all year long in anticipation of this ritual set to take place this year at Kiki's in Houston in several days. Everyone will sit in a circle with a starting gift. Melinda will then read a "special" version of story that has lots of the words "right" or "left" substituted in. When the participants hear one of those two words, they pass their gifts in the corresponding directions (e.g. "Twas the night RIGHT before Christmas"). As you can probably guess, whatever gift you end up with, you open and get to keep. As you can probably also imagine, a wine bottle stopper that a 4-year-old might end up with is exchanged for a cool electronic game that an adult might end up with. Everyone ends up with something fun that was probably picked out for them before the game even started :-).
The boys also made some MORE crafts (nope... there are still more to do) for presents.
