Polmateer Chrismtas Party, 2008
Jaime and I hosted the Christmas party again this year, and it was a blast!
| We had a big huge ice storm the week of the party. We were worried about losing power, luckily it did not happen :) | |
| There was 1/2 to 3/4" of ice on everything. | |
| This tree really took a beating and lost a lot of limbs. | |
| They don't look so big... | |
| But when you get close, they were about 6" in diameter. Added my boot for scale. | |
| One of them punched through the roof on our shed. | |
| Ice on the Saturn. This is the last known photo of this car BTW, it sold a few weeks after the party! | |
| Icicles on our icecicles! | |
| Ice on Rudy :( | |
| Andrew and his new teeth! | |
| The party got going pretty quickly after that point! | |

| Mom Mom. We changed the rules for the grab bag, everyone had to give her a hug so she was strategically positioned. | |
| Pop Pop taking it all in. | |
| Dad was sulking about something. | |
| Dad and his two sisters! | |
| I think he was demonstrating how to open a jar here... | |
| And then it exploded... ! Okay I just made that up. | |
| Look at Mary's gestures in this series of photos... | |
| Not good pictures, but I thought the hand signals were hilarious! | |
| We had the wherewithal to do a group shot. Click Here to download the HUGE version in case you want to print it. | |
