Last night was the Earth Builder's Christmas party at my aunt and uncle's house! (As most of you know, my dad and my uncle Kym are the owner's of Earth Builder's, where Dave works.) There is always great food and hilarious games at these parties, & last night was no exception!
The festivities began with an intense scavenger hunt around the house. For example, did you know that Kym and Bernie's house has 51 doorknobs and 36 steps? This style of game is definitely not my forte! :) After dinner we had a traditional white-elephant gift exchange, followed with a competition of my favorite game, Spoons! It is always customary to have 3 "semi-final" games of spoons, and then 2 people from each semi-final game head to the "championship game." Here are Dave and Bernie in their intense semi-final game:
Of course, Dave was one of the winners from his table....but he was very surprised to see ME at the championship round. (This was my first time getting to the championship; of course, Dave has been in it every year he's worked for EBI.) 
Dave was even more shocked at my mad spoon skills as, round by round, the other 4 players were eliminated, and it was just he and I left to compete for title of winner!
Although I tried my best, Dave was dealing (which gave him an advantage), and he won (in about 15 seconds)! Even though Dave wins every game, no matter what it is, it all ended well! 
As always, we had a great time at the party; until next December, we'll be playing a lot of Spoons at our house to sharpen our skills!
