And the tradition lives on....

Ahhh, I love tradition! The Christmas season is my favorite time of the entire year, mostly due to traditions we honor year after year. On of the best is Wadsworth Christmas, which always includes lots of food, games, and laughing until someone pees their pants. Its usually Sara.

The Wadsworths are our family best friends. They were some of our first friends when we moved to Kansas, and Jessica and I were in the same 5th grade class. We looked amazing in 5th grade by the way. Doesn't everyone?
Wadsworth Christmas has taken place for many, many, many years. I don't know that we have ever skipped a year! In the early years, we made gingerbread houses. It didn't take long for that to become predictable, so we made gingerbread trains, cookie creations, and one year we forsake decorating all together and participated in the Christmas Olympics. This year, we had the challenge of depicting a Christmas song using candy and frosting. As usual, our team ROCKED it. I don't know if we actually won according to the rubric (oh yes, there was a rubric) but I'll just say we won.

Sophie did not pull her weight AT ALL. She slept through the whole thing. Not a team player.

Unrelated to Wadsworth Christmas, we played poker the next night. I just want you to note Tim's small sad piles of chips and my amazing winnings. I am a secret poker star.
