Arbuckle Family Dinner/December 2018

Our first Arbuckle family dinner, out at JB's parents' new digs in Grantsville last night, was a success. Dinner was a baked potato bar, with salad and some of the largest dinner rolls I've ever seen.

After dinner, the kids enjoyed playing a favorite family game that, as far as I can tell, doesn't exactly have a trademarked name but is not all that different from "Pass the Parcel," either. Anyhow, it involves the kids going around the circle, taking turns rolling two dice. Whoever rolls doubles puts on the gloves and then tries to unwrap as much of the Saran-wrapped package as he/she can while candy falls out. That person's turn ends when the next person rolls doubles. And so on, until the package is no more and totally unraveled.

Here's Olivia showing how it's done:

So, that was our evening. The new house is approximately 45 miles away, so it's a little bit of a drive to get out there. But it's not exactly in California, either.
