Cox Cousin Craziness!

Saturday night was our Annual Cox Cousin Christmas Party!  It is about the only time of year that we get together with all of Andy's cousins, on his Dad's side.  It is great fun to see everyone! We had a really good turn out...around 36 people.  Andy's siblings (and their spouses) were in charge this year.  We held it at a church in order to accommodate the crowd.  Below you will see the three tables full of Cox Cousins.  Thanks everyone for coming!

The party was centered around a "Survivor" theme.  After eating we competed in different challenges to see which couple was the "Ultimate Survivor Winner."  My pictures didn't turn out that great, but at least you get an idea.  This was the "bow-a-arrow shoot."  We took aim at plastic cups to see which team could hit the most.  There were arrows flying everywhere....except at the cups! 

Kim looks serious....she has obviously used a bow before!  

We also folded paper airplanes and threw them at a target.  Here you  can see Billie K carefully throwing with grace.  

We next blindfolded Andy and Karl and threw marshmallows at them.  They tried to catch them in their buckets while being blind-folded.  It was more or less a chance to throw marshmallows at the two of them.  It was a marshmallow storm..with a lot of laughs!

And one goes in!!!  

There was also an obstacle coarse complete with 3-legged racing, jump roping,  basketball shooting, crab walking, and puzzle doing.  We ended the challenge with some quality log balancing.  Each couple  had to balance on a log...the last ones standing = WINNER!  Below you can see Jerry and Kelly.  This was their best attempt...which worked well until they were asked to raise one leg!  

Here are some of the finalists...Sarah and Tu, Kesha and Bill, and Kim and Josh.  Nice balance! Kim and Josh along with Brian and Misty came away with the top spots of Ultimate Cox Cousin Survivors!  This is a very coveted title!  Thanks for participating everyone.
We then opened gifts and called it a night!  It  was fun to see everyone and get caught up on  family news.  We hope everyone enjoys the Holidays--
