We spent New Year's Eve at the Garstka's where we enjoyed the company of the DiSpigno's, Miller's, Turner's and White's. We had a fun evening visiting, eating and playing games. I failed to take a single picture!
We had fun playing Catch Phrase. There were a lot of people, so it was really hard to hear and understand what was going on. You had to pay close attention. It was chaotic most of the time. We played girls vs. guys and often one group would be having a side conversation while the other group was trying to play. We learned that the 13 year olds don't know who celebrities like Dolly Parton are. Poor Jonathan got stuck with that one, so he started by describing what little girls play with. His group guessed Dolly, but the timer ran out before we got to hear how we was going to describe Parton.
The most priceless moment of the night was with our poor Jonathan. I happened to be sitting across from him, so I saw it all unfold. He grabbed the Catch Phrase from Angela looked at it with complete shock and exclaimed "Oh!" Then he showed it to Angela hoping she would let him switch it to the next word, but she didn't. So he muttered, "I don't think I'm really allowed to say this word, but ok." Fred must have missed Jonathan's shock and the statement that muttered, because when Jonathan said another name for a cat, Fred popped off with feline. Those of us that were clued in to what was going on laughed our heads off. Jonathan's phrase was pussy willow. Poor thing. He thought he was going to die getting past the first word.
We had a great time and hung in there until midnight. (I was doubtful that I was going to make it.)
