This little tradition had to be pushed until after the New Year because I was so sick on the original party date. And, we did things a little different this year.
As these kiddos age, friend groups shift and divide, especially for the girls. Roen's little group of friends has basically stayed the same since middle school, but the girls have not. So for this reason, we ended up just doing Friendsmas for the boys this year! It ended up being just as fun, albeit, a bit more rambunctious, but I recruited some help!
Crissy, Racheal, and I created 8 mini games, to end with one champion of the night! Rumor was super duper impressive, beating out everyone in the final game with his extensive Christmas trivia knowledge! After games, Micah, Rob, and Bryan fed the boys burgers, followed by a gift exchange, some hot tub time, ending the evening with a fire and s'mores! It was a really great night and this is definitely one of my FaVorItE Christmas traditions!
And, I thought you all might like to see how these boys have grown since our very first Friendsmas, so at the very bottom you will find previous years...
Oh to have been a fly on the wall!! I can only imagine having that many boys to wrangle!! Glad you had help! I know everyone had a great time. The pictures are awesome and I especially like the comparison pictures at the end. My how they have grown!! From cute little boys to handsome young boys! As always, thanks for sharing this fun tradition!! Love y’all 😘
