    Pearson Party Palace

    Generally we have a few Christmas parties at our house each year. This year was exceptionally crazy. There were MANY more parties at other places, which made it seem like a really insane year.
    1. Pearson/Mackay (extended family) Christmas party: November 29th.
    2. Pioneer Trek reunion dinner: December 13th.
    3. Pearson family Christmas party: December 21st.
    4. Yearly Youth Planning Meeting (church): December 27th.
    5. New Year's Day Pearson/Mackay party: January 1st.

    Here's a pic of what the basement looked like for party #3:

    Excluding our trek reunion, we averaged about 40 people for each party. It's great to have a spacious room for all these events, and a full basement kitchen helps, but I think we'll cut back next year. :-)

    You know, I offer to have the parties at my house! You are so good to let the family use your space! Even though Lee has major anxiety attacks every time we have one here, I still wish we had them more often!

    I'm so glad you've opened your lovely home to the Mackay party! Great to see the photos. Just getting back to the blogs after a holiday hiatus--but I cannot seem to pull up Melissa's page--dang--has she shut the door on my nose?

    Sorry I didn't see more of family while there--but being snowed in, with Sweet Adeline tossin food toward my open mouth--what could be mo bedduh?

Which Intelligence?

http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofintelligencedoyouhavequiz/

My results: Your Dominant Intelligence is Interpersonal Intelligence

You shine in your ability to relate to and understand others. Good at seeing others' points of view, you get how people think and feel. You have an uncanny ability to sense true feelings, intentions, and motivations. A natural born leader, you are great at teaching and mediating conflict.

You would make a good counselor, salesperson, politician, or business person.
