Ground Hog Bash 2011

HAPPY GROUNDHOG's DAY!!!
As you may all remember...we (Brian) are big believers in this simply forgotten holiday. Brian and his sisters are FIRM believers in the magic of the groundhog:)
This year we had a groundhog prediction party. Basically people came "wearing" their prediction. Will it be 6 more weeks of winter...(ugly sweaters, snow gear) or an early spring (summer clothes).
We had a chili cookoff, and of course...groundhog cake.



Here are the winter predictors...warm wooley hats, sweaters, long sleeves...

Here are the summer predictors...coconut bras, shorts, mumu's, sunglasses, short sleeves...

I know what your thinking....Nice Coconuts. Thanks, they are real:) I got them in Hawaii.

Brian is a secret member of the "inner circle" and that is why he gets the privilage of wearing a top hat and suit.....
Along with running the show, he also gives us a history lesson on groundhogs and a special unknown facts.

We had a little contest....and strongly believe that Katie and Cory won the contest for costumes. They came a little late and missed the group shot...but they deserved a picture all on their own.
Katie and I had the same idea and both wore our coconut bras....she also topped her outfit off with a bikini bottom:) Cory wore a LOVELY wet suit:) he may have been the warmest spring predictor there:)

We ended the night with full belly's and the movie Groundhogs day. (Of course).
THE best part is....today, Phil (our groundhog friend) says that it will be an EARLY SPRING!! HOORAY!!!
Happy Groundhogs Day.
