A ‘Kinz Christmas Party

Nibbles Hippo here, reporting on the ‘Kinz Christmas party!

• Cowabelle brought a delicious plate of sugar cookies to share. She seems SO much happier these days.  She couldn’t stop talking about the soup kitchen. It’s great to see the old Cowabelle back.
• Roberta’s picture frames were quickly filled with silly pictures we took and printed today. My favorite? Sparky with Christmas ornaments hanging from his ears.
• Salley brought her famous salsa and a whole lotta chips. Let’s just say I think I’m good to not eat until Christmas.
• A tired looking Molly arrived with her little sister Millie in tow. Apparently Millie BEGGED to come to the party. Surprisingly, Millie was actually pretty fun to have around. And when we had a popcorn-catching contest (in which players catch popcorn in their mouths), Millie was actually the best at it!
• Sparky had ornaments hung from his ears. And played video games. A lot.
• Stoogles also played video games, and then turned up the music and told us all we had to dance. He was the judge. According to him, he’s the best dancer.
• Alex was happy to be exempt from the dance competition (on account of his ankle, which is better but not perfect). He took most of the pictures today.
• And as for me? I just had an awesome time with my friends. I LOVE our yearly Christmas party!

So now we’re all going our separate ways. Salley left from the party to pick up her suitcases at home and then wait for her dad to pick her up. She’s SO excited to have Christmas with him this year. I’m going to be hitting the road soon, too, so I’d better get ready. Merry Christmas!
