Extreme 4 Wheelin'
Holiday Party, 2004
(Click on image to enlarge)

Welcome everyone to 2005.
We've survived another year of the Extreme4wheelin' adventures.  Now it's time for some celebration and story telling.

Ken brought in a big box of peanuts for everyone to munch on before the meal.

Here John demonstrates to Jack how to get the nuts out of the shells, while Jayson and Henry carefully guard the box!

Food is served!
 

Forget it Jackie, you can't hide from my camera.. :)

Boy, it sure got quiet in here....

Hey, we finally got a smile from Alex.

While Jack seems to be content stretching dad's patience...

So, who's first to the desert table?

Looks like the boys are working on a new race track.

Norm has a souvenir for Hamid, a LARGE chunk of Tahlequah clay.

No Terry, you can't hide either!

Ok, it's time for the gifts now.  Starting out with a present for Norm, our outgoing president.

This year, the 'Get it' award is passed on to Jackie, who managed to sneak out earlier to go to a movie.  Jackie, we are gonna have to work on those priorities....

The most carnage award goes to Norm. 
Even though he did not have full time driving duties this year, he still managed to spend the most time broke on a trail or trails...

Now it's time for the white elephant gifts.
Here Larry check out what toy Walt got.  But he ends up finding one of his own.

Dillon's picked up a camera.

Oh no, here we go again with the boxes.
Jamie, you don't really think you'll be able to hold on to that this time...

It's still passing hands, so forget about trying to hide it, Steve!

Jamie is back up for another try..

Looks like Deana has picked up some tie-downs. 
But don't get too attached, because John's plotting to steal.

Ken's got some 'accessories' to dress up the Chief.

And Terry's got some new pets.

Terry takes the camera, so there is evidence I was there.

Watch out, Hamid's looking for a steal...

More goodies, goodies, goodies..

Ok big boys, no hogging all the toys!

Now it's time for the cash drawing..... 
Wow, Norm actually remembered the ticket box!

Hey, no peaking...

Gee, getting a little grabby there Tim?

Time for the peanut battles to begin..

Watch out, INCOMING!

Umm, what's Ken doing?..

Oh, it's just a damaged pocket of peanuts..

Pay back time for Jordan!

Ok, I put down the camera and all of a sudden I become a target!

Now, does anyone else find these just a bit DISTURBING!

Well, we've managed to wrap up another year.  And, 2005 is starting out on a good note. 
Thanks to Ken & Denise, John and all that brought food.  Thanks to Walt for bringing the tables and chairs, and thanks to Norm for letting us use his shop.   Remember, the kids have to bring back all the saw dust they picked up!... :)
