That Was Pretty Good

I knew there was a reason we didn't make a grand blog of our Christmas Break right afterwards! When I recently discovered these pictures, they brought me tenfold joy because the memories were instantly renewed, whereas if we had just rejoiced in them immediately following our grand adventures, we may have forgotten all about them! I know I forgot about a few of these!

Just as a reminder, as part of the Great Roy Family Christmas Challenge, we had to take a series of 9 pictures depicting our adventures during the break. Each picture had to include an object as well as one more person than the previous picture. So...

Charina with the socks she had to buy for us to go bowling. I think they said something like.. "If life gives you lemons, squirt the juice in your enemy's eyes". hahah!

CJ and I both got haircuts at the beginning of the break, so there we are with the scissors.
The boys all got injured, as you'll recall. Dad burnt his finger.. on the fireplace, I think ,Eric smacked his face, and LaDon jammed his finger... oh, boys.
Just laugh at the memory of this picture. hahah.... I don't exactly know what part Eric played in this happening, but you guys all look nice. The Race! LaDon and I ran the 10k, and Sum, Char, and CJ ran the 5k and it was possibly one of the greatest races of my entire life! So there we are with a picture of us training. Even though the movie of us training was way better.
This picture is 6 of us holding the big candy bars which were part of the "Off to the Races" portion of the Great Roy Family Christmas Challenge. We could only find our own, but if someone saw ours, we could ask questions to figure out where it was. An effective system, unless you were LaDon, who couldn't find his even after he stared it in the face.

Yes! The Office! hahaha... Jamie as Kevin with her cupful of "hydration", Sum as the perfect Angela, Krista as Dwight, LaDon as Michael, Charina as Pam, CJ as Phyllis haha, and Eric as Andy. From Cornell. Hahah! What moments!
This picture is us with the calendars which CJ made us, and Sum and I are also holding our playmate sister gifts.
And here's all of us with our targets from rifle shooting at the OTC! Viana tried to take this picture for us at first, and I thought about putting the picture of just our feet in; I stuck with this one, which I think we took using an automatic thing.
As just a bonus, this will most likely make you laugh your head off, and you may have to watch it 10 times, just to see the perfection of every person!

Thanks for the wonderful break! Merry Christmas in August!
