Christmas Fun!

We had lots of fun over Christmas. We were so busy. Lots of Christmas parties. Our 1st party was the Johnson party. My Grandma Johnson's birthday is on the 23rd so our Christmas party is also a Birthday party. We went to my Aunt's apartment building and had our party we ate dinner and visited.

The next party was the Anderson Party. We went to Sherin's house and ate dinner and PIE. The kids played Bingo and got fun prizes. We came home with guns and tractors! They also did a white elephant exchange and did a craft. Santa even came for the kids to have one last chance to get in their requests. Alek was terrified yet again. Erick and Leslie were in town for Christmas. It was really great to see them, they've been gone along time.

Craft time!

Then on Christmas Eve we went to my brother Rusty's house for my family's party. We draw names for present exchange, and this year everything we gave had to be homemade. Which was hard for us, because we're not very creative. But we figured it out. I etched plates and made candy for mine and Braden's people and we made hemp necklaces and bracelets for the three girls the kids had.

Joye got a scarf. She loved it!

Alek and Jaxon both got pillows.

I had to post this picture. I laughed so hard when I saw it. Joye is raising her one eyebrow.

Rusty and Becky had this snowman decoration that would open up its belly and inside were little snowmen skating around. The kids loved it, they made Rusty do it for them a million times. They all layed on their belly's and watched.

On Christmas after we had opened presents and played for a while, we packed up and went to Braden's Grandma and Grandpa Fesslers. We saw lots of family, and had yummy food. We had a great holiday.
