Holiday Party!!

This past Saturday evening was the annual Christmas party at the barn where I board the girls.   The party is traditionally held in the barn managers apartment which is inside the barn.  This year was no exception.  

The heat was turned on in the barn, and all the lights were on making it very inviting to come in out of the cold rain.  Especially as every horse was snug in their stalls munching hay and nickering softly.

I took Logan with me and I turned him loose with the camera.  I didn't direct him so these are the best that came out.  Not bad for a 12 year old.

Us Party Animals had lots of great food too.  There was a variety of hot foods including Turkey, scalloped potatoes, enchilada soup, baked squash and lots of other stuff.




Then there is the dessert table, my personal favorite.  I brought Fudge which was weight watchers friendly (if you want recipe let me know).

We played fun games.  This was a word game where you had to write on slips of paper the following:

Favorite Game

Favorite color

Body Part

Your name

Friends Name

Any name

Place

Game

Thing

The slips of paper were put into the bags and drawn out as you read a story inserting what you pulled into the blanks.   Santa's helper brought her two Bull Dogs, Dozer and Ziggy.  They were very helpful when it came to drawing from the bags.

The game went something like this:

My horses name is Sally. She is Red.  We saddled up and headed to Utopia.  While were in the woods Sally spooked and jumped over a Bike.  I slipped from the saddle and fell on my Belly Button.  Lucky for me George came along and suggested we go back to the barn and play Spin The Bottle instead.

Then it was time for the White Elephant gift exchange.

Here is a blurry (sorry) one of Santa's helper




And the gift I started with...

I ended up with $10 worth of Lottery Scratch offs and won $7.00 from them.
