Grinch Christmas Party

We had our Christmas Party last night.  We did a Grinch/White Elephant Theme.  We enjoyed dinner together.  Afterwards, the kids made up a play about Jesus and we enjoyed watching them perform:) 

We then exchanged gifts.  If you have never done a Grinch Christmas, it is fun!  First you bring a wrapped gift of something that you want to re-gift.  You draw numbers and the highest number goes first and picks a present from the pile and opens it. The second number can pick a present from the pile or take the first present (the first then can choose a new present).  The third number can pick either of the first two opened presents or pick a new one from the pile.

The kids also exchanged gifts. 

After all of the gift exchanges, we played Rock Band.  This was hilarious!  I think Jim was a Rock star in his former life!  It took quite a few tries for the band to not get booed off the stage but eventually they got a “You Rock” by finishing the song.
