New Years 2008 Olympics!
For New Years we decided to do something fun and different so we put together an Olympic themed game night! Seriously...it was a blast, we had so much fun!!!! We can't wait until next New Years! So, we had 4 teams, 3 0r 4 people on each team. Each team chose a different country to represent and then dressed up in the olympic or cultural gear of the country. We made different foods from each country and then played games and added up the points at the end...and this year Brazil took the gold!
Group Shot! Brazil: Aimee, Javi, Kait and Brenden. India: Me, Cailin and Travis. Somoa: Jake, Kik, Kevin and Jackie, Then up on top- Sweden: Mitch, Drew and Elise.
Oh and Micah was part of team Brazil too!
Here I am in the kitchen- we made curried lentils and naan bread for India. We made swedish meatballs and got swedish fish for Sweden. We made black bean salsa and rice for Brazil. And we made a coconut rice drink and mango salsa and pineapple for Somoa. It was all delicious!
Cailin and Kait!
We chose India because we like India!
Kim and Jake chose Somoa because Jake is 1/2 Somoan. And soon Kim will have a Somoan last name...Muai!
Aimee, Kait, Javi and Brenden chose Brazil because Aimee served a mission in Brazil and because Kait is kind of a crazy, hippie Brazilian at heart!
Drew, Elise and Mitch chose Sweden because the Lundquist's are Swedish and Drew served his mission there! Elise had to wear a blonde wig because she was Swedish after all! P.S. Mitch knew you (Chris Rueckert) would appreciate the Swedish representation!!!
Oh yeah!
One game, we had to see how long it took the entire team to put out three candles by spitting water from behind the line! This was hysterical!
Mitch was pretty impressive!
Team Somoa won this game!
We played a hand slapping game and Brazil took that one!
Brenden's face when he realized Brazil won!
We played an "Around-the-World" ping pong game where you hit it once and pass the paddle! We we dying laughing in this game!
Oh, the concentration!
The final count down...Happy New Year!
Sweden and India...big time allies!
Go Brazil!
