The First Annual Owensboro Christmas Cup

About a week before Christmas we had another family move into the Branch.  Nothing short of a miracle, I tell you.  The Norton's were the family who came in October.  This family that most recently arrived are the Ortons.  What are the chances?  Maybe the Horton's are on their way.  Anyway, the Nortons have FIVE kids!  Hello!  Primary was six, then nine, now we have fourteen or more! 
Well, being that we are all away from extended family, we decided to get together on Christmas Eve day to pass the time.  We met at the church gym, which is really about a quarter of a gym covered in carpet, to play some games.  Last minute I threw together some games and found an old trophy to award the highest scoring family.
We did relays, crab walk, balloon between the legs, dribbling, paper airplane contest and stuff like that.

 

When we had run out of ideas we said the kid that could hold still the longest would take the trophy.  Much to Cole's unliking, Henry was still the longest and the Orton's have the trophy for the year.
