It was\u00a0fun to watch everyone\u00a0either unwrap an ornament or\u00a0steal one from\u00a0someone else.\u00a0 Christine and myself fought for the same ornament for most of the party with neither\u00a0one of us ending up with it.\u00a0\u00a0Poor Kathryn, every ornament she opened or stole was taken from her.\u00a0\u00a0Deneen kept trying to hide her ornament so no one would steal it\u00a0from her!\u00a0 Everyone had a great time and are already looking forward to next year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3431\"
