Partaaay!

Friday night we had our family Christmas party with my brother Travis and his family. We went to their house and ate a yummy dinner and visited and of course opened some presents. The girls were so excited to finally get to open a present or two. We had fun visiting and reminiscing and all the usual stuff you do at family get togethers.

Saturday morning we had Bailey's birthday party, which was a pajama party. The girls had so much fun going in their jammies and playing all the games. And their favorite part was the cake and all the candy. Shannon knows how to throw one good birthday party!

Saturday night we went to Jon's work party out at Camp Williams. The kids got to sit on Santa's lap and no one got scared. Then they got to do all sorts of crafts. They got to make ornaments and paint gingerbread men. We had a great turkey dinner and visited. It was a nice party.

Sunday we went up to Diane's for a farewell party for Jade. He has been home for his 2 week leave from Iraq and left to go back Monday morning. We visited and the girls played with Diane's grand daughters. They had a great time.

And then Sunday evening we went to Doris' house for her family party. She invited us over to meet her family and eat with them. She had a ton of food! The girls got to meet her great grand daughters and played all sorts of games with them.

We had a very busy weekend. It took us all day yesterday to recover from it. But everyone had a very good time and got along very well!
