OUR BIG FAMILY CHRISTMAS……

The Saturday before Christmas we host OUR BIG FAMILY CHRISTMAS at our home.  It is a great time for everyone.  Here are a few photos from the party.  I didn’t take many photos this year during the holidays.  I don’t have a single picture from my cookie exchange party

Joshua, my hairy man child.  What is up with the facial hair!!

Tommy, Kristen (niece) and Me in Tommy’s room.  See how undone the second mural is…..bad mommy!

Tommy and Kristen playing Tommy’s favorite gift!! Connect Four!!!

There was some massive amounts of connect four going on all night.  

It was a long, loud and fun night!!!  I had to get up the next morning and be at church by 7:00am to sell cookies.  Needless to say I was late!  Argh…only by 15 minutes though.   I finally crawled into bed around midnight and the party was still going strong at our house without me.   I put my ear plugs in and went to sleep.  I woke to a noise at 2:00am and found Erik doing something in his room.  Not sure what.  I told him to go to bed and the house was finally quiet!!

It was a wonderful time with family.  I am so truly blessed………………
