Merry Christmas Gift

In an effort to save time and stress with buying Christmas gifts for our family, Erik and I once again decided on giving the gift of an experience. We had planned the 2nd Annual Anderson/Daggett Sleigh Ride much like the one we did last here (here); however, due to below 0 temps we decided to cancel the sleigh ride and bring the party indoors. Our Plan B was bowling and I think the evening was a success.
This was Thomas' first bowling experience. He was lucky to have a lot of good coach's. Looks like he is on target for a spare!

We divided the group up onto four lanes, I happened to share a lane with my dad and Thomas which meant my dad and I squeezed in many extra frames as Thomas was off sneaking drinks of soda from all of his aunties and uncles.

Lane #1: Peter (who bowls in a league and put us all to shame), Mathew, Mitch (Hannah's boyfriend) and Hannah.

Steph and Grandpa John waiting for their turn.

Thomas and his Godmother, Auntie Lolo.

This little guy was lucky to have the undivided attention of both grandma's.

Erik and Grandpa John

Thomas with his best bowling buddy.

The Anderson's and Daggett's. So fun to spend time with all these people. Erik and I have many great childhood memories together because of all the fun times our families have had together.

Who do you think bowls a better frame?

Maybe I'm just more humble...

Fun times!

Sisters.

Nora Mae slept for most of the evening but didn't entirely miss out.

Nuts about the blurry picture but isn't this the sweetest?! My mom was taking the kids home and it was totally time for Thomas to leave but I just couldn't take Nora from Grandpa John so Pretzy got to stay out a little later.  Lucky girl or lucky Grandpa?

Merry Christmas to all.
Love- Erik, Elise, Thomas and Nora
