Pass the Parcel!

February 2010

Lucas and Alexis went to the birthday party of the neighbor boy who lives across the street. They played a game called "Pass the Parcel." You pass a gift that's been wrapped many times. Each time the music stops you unwrap another layer towards the gift. The child who takes off the last layer of wrapping paper gets to keep the gift. The funniest part of it all is how you pronounce the name of the game. Our kids kept telling us they played "Pass the Parcel" but it sounded more like "Pass the Paahsul." Any time Dan & I tried to say it ourselves our children were quick to correct us. Apparently we couldn't say it right or get the accent to go with it!
