We had a great Christmas with our families and we hope you did as well. Santa was very good to all of us but we are most thankful for this time celebrating the birth of Jesus, the reason for the season, and enjoying all the traditions we have come to love. Merry Christmas Everyone!

A hat, a scarf, oven mits, and .....
a present wrapped many many times! It's a tradition at my parents house that we end the night with a game that involves everyone. Everyone really enjoys it and we always laugh till our cheeks and stomachs hurt. It's so fun and we look forward to it every year. Matt and I were the winners last year, will we remain the champs this year too?
just a little about the game. Everyone sits on the ground in a circle. There is 1 gift wrapped multiple times in the middle of the circle and 1 dice in a box. You must roll a "1" to even try and open the gift. But before you attempt to open the gift you must put on the lovely hat, scarf, and oven mitts(which makes it very hard to open). The dice continues around the circle one person at a time until someone else gets a one and then it is their turn. The person who unwraps the gift wins the gift. It gets very competitive and very silly. The greatest thing is even kids and grandparents can play. Here are few pictures of the game as it went down.
Hanna dressing for the work ahead.
Fiona working so hard to get a little piece off.
Derek thinks he can do it and Tracee's cheering him on in the back ground.
My mom inspecting it trying to find the perfect spot!
UH OHHHH, A.J rolled a 1, he steals it from Grandma, and Tracee is thrilled!

Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus...
The Christmas Party this year was hosted again by the fabulous Jen & Mike. She Always does a great job and they have the perfect house for a huge party. She went all out this year and even made special arrangements with someone who is very busy this time of year....Santa! Santa made a surprise visit & brought toys for the kids and even read them the story "The Night Before Christmas"! The kids were so sweet listening to the story. Most of them LOVED Santa but a few of them would not even get close:( Maybe next year. The Party also happened to fall on Mikes Birthday, the big 33! Happy Birthday Mike. We had such a great time and can't wait til the next one. Good job Jen, You are the best party planner ever. You think of everything and it really shows. Merry Christmas!
