My sisters and I finished the Gingerbread House. It's our first time properly decorating one XD, a couple years ago was the first time we had one...and me and my other siblings sabotaged our eldest sister by eating and tasting all the candies as she was trying to work with them XD. We finished it this time though! Our mom and dad are being biased and calling it "the most beautifully decorated ginger house ever", parent goggles I guess? I didn't do much but watch, especially as my big sisters are much more creative than me, I let them handle the decorations and I got the front of the house's snowflake placements. (Edit: most pics look less blurry if you click on them ^^)

(6:01 PM Fri.) Got woken up at 11 AM today by our mom telling us we need to get up and discuss family stuff, she almost gave me a heart attack because I was worrying about what could be the issue. When I went upstairs to say good morning to mom and dad, I see the situation isn't serious, but there are presents lined up on the table near our living room window. Today was game day! For those who don't know, my family dedicates a day in December (usually a couple weeks before Christmas) for Game Day™ , a day where we choose different kinds of games to play all day and rack up points to win the grand prize. This year there were two grand prizes that went together and my twin was the winner this time, beating our eldest sister who had a streak for two years (she wasn't pleased with the streak being interrupted XD, but she still had fun!) We played reindeer games (a game where you blow up inflatable antlers and have two people tie them on to be the "reindeer", breaking up the rest of the party into two separate teams-red and green-and throwing inflatable hoops onto the antlers), I was the reindeer again this year and crushed it (again ^^) and because I suck at throwing, I didn't want to be chosen to throw red teams (my team) hoops...but at least I know I'm not Rudolph, cause this reindeer crushed those games; the second game was a ball toss (but we used Christmas bells) and had a minute to get as many as we could into cups lined in pyramid formation (our dad crushed us at that game lol), third was a cup grabbing game (called: head, knees, cup!) the objective of the game is that-let's say-a group of five lines up to play the game, you put cups on the ground (one less than the number of people playing) and the referee (our mom in this case) shouts a command: "heads!" And the command has to be followed when she shouts it, when you get to knees you crouch low with your hands on them waiting for the ref to shout cup, if you move without the command being shouted you are disqualified and don't gain a point for the grand prize/get any candy, but if you follow the rules closely and manage to grab a cup from your opponents, you win and they are out of the game. You dwindle the cups until there's only one on the floor and two contestants left standing (I ended up not playing that because it's a quick draw type of game and my family were playing rough XD, I didn't want to break a nail. But, I came in as a South Pole Elf® and shouted the commands our mom was supposed to, if they listened to my voice instead of Mrs. Claus, they were out for that round). The fourth game was another cup lineup but with cotton balls on them, we have those little party blower things that curl into themselves and you have to use those to knock the cotton balls off the cup without knocking the cup down itself or you'll be disqualified, and the last game for the grand prize was Frosty themed bingo. My twin (as stated earlier) won the grand prize, which was a giant sized Hershey's Kiss and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. After she opened the grand prize, we got to move onto the dice rolling game where we have to roll a certain number to open gifts (this year open gift was 2, 4 and 6). If you roll a 1 you steal a gift, you get a 3 you trade one and 5 was switch gift right/left. I got lots of candy, new boots, silly cat earrings and a cat picture of one's I've been collecting. It was a very fun day for everyone and now we are ready to decorate the gingerbread house and eat dinner. ❤️
