Happy New Year - 2017!

On New Year's Eve we gathered with friends from church for a party, which started at 7:00 p.m. and would last until midnight, when we would ring in the new year with the church bell and prayer. But most of us didn't stick around that long. We, ourselves, left around 10:30, after a great time with lots of good finger-food, games and laughs.

Dan and I played UNO for most of the evening, but when the table next to us started playing Pie Face, we all threw in our cards and gathered round to watch people get hit in the face with whipped cream. Everyone was a good sport - kids and adults alike took their turns.

Here's our preacher, Joe, after his turn. The one laughing hysterically behind him is his mother-in-law, by the way.

Unlike the adults, who hoped to escape the hand full of whipped cream after turning the handle, the kids hoped for a splat in the face on their turn. 

Happy new year to you and yours!
