Christmas Party


We had a super fun, very snowy family Christmas party. We have grown to the point of not being together on Christmas morning anymore, so I suggested we have a party and exchange gifts from our name drawing (which happens every July - no procrastinators here).

Everyone came during the worst blizzard we have had all winter. It just added to the memory. There always seems to be extra memories when I am in charge of family activities (remember Green River, Utah at 100 degrees in a cabin with no air conditioning; poison ivy on the kid hike; and now bulldozing through almost a foot of snow to get into the church parking lot where the party was.)

We had delicious food, a birthday party for my Mom, a white elephant gift exchange game, Santa Claus came, took a family picture, enjoyed a chocolate fountain, and exchanged gifts from our name drawing.

What a party! You all look great. Is that Austin in the Santa suit?

I love chocolate fountains, but I've outlawed them from family parties at my house. 4 year olds and melted chocolate are a messy combination!
