December Book Club

Becky hosted this year's Christmas book club at Hires. We'd read the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson. We dressed up either as one of the characters from the book or as we had dressed in high school. Penni won the costume contest with her costume as Angus, the wild cat that belongs to Georgia. Becky had created games. We were going to do the Bison Horn Dance, but we ran out of time. Here we are at the end wearing our bison horns.


We played pin the kiss on George Clooney.











There was a quiz game to see how much we knew about each other, the books, and the books we read over the past year. Becky took her role as game show host seriously. :)













And of course there was a book exchange, although this year we ran low on time and basically just grabbed a book.

Such a fun book club! Love you guys!
