A Minute-to-Win-It Christmas

The Christmas season as officially started, and we kicked off this season with a Christmas gathering with Grandpa Chuck, Grandma Linda, Mike, Dawn & Scotty. And of course, there had to be some kind of unusual twist! After our DELICIOUS Christmas dinner we started out with some trivia about Thanksgiving (since we didn't get together for that) and Christmas. Who ever got the most questions correct got to pick their choice of a 2-liter of soda and a candy bar. From there we moved on to a game where we had to try to bounce a ping-pong ball into a cup. Who ever got the most in out of the 3 rounds got a big bucket of popcorn with a $10 Wal-mart gift card attached to it. The next game was with spagetti and pop cans. You had a partner and had to use your mouth and the spaghetti stick to transfer the pop cans to the other end of the counter and stack them like a pyramid. If they fell or your spaghetti stick broke, you had to start over. Who ever finished this the quickest (averaging their 2 rounds) got a prize of a basket filled with goodies like cheese, summer sausage, crackers, jelly & candy bars. BUT if you didn't want the basket, you could trade it for a $20 bill (which my little brother did!) The last game used empty pop cans and plastic plates. You had to stack them as fast as you could starting with 1 can on the bottom, then a plate, then 2 cans, a plate, 3 cans, a plate, and then 4 cans. It had to stand for 3 seconds to count. AJ won this game and got a $25 Casey's gas card! After the crazy games, we opened our gifts and enjoyed some dessert before heading back home. Here are some photos of the madness! :)
