Utah Family Parties

Every year the Saturday before Christmas eve we get together with our families and have our Christmas parties. My parents do a morning brunch and Bill's family does an evening party so it works nice that we can do it all in one day. We start breakfast at my parents house at 10 am and then open presents play and visit. I am so grateful for the great families we've been blessed with. This is Abbie with her cousin Gracie. My sister in law Diane and her 3 girls Darcie, Stacy and Heather and her granddaughter Makaya. This is Grandma giving out her first gift to all the grandkids. An emergency kit for their backpacks. If your over 12 Grandma gives cash. This year it was wrapped under the label of a can of CASH-ew Nuts!!!! Cierra also got a Webkinz from grandma, a can of nuts and a bug vacuum from her cousin. Abbie got a webkinz and can of nuts also and from her cousin she got webkinz clothes. Jesse got golf balls and a golfing tool. At Bill's parents house we have dinner and sing Christmas Carols until Santa comes. Everyone takes turns sitting on Santas lap getting their presents. The grandkids all get Jammies and the adults get a treat. Here's a picture of all the kids with their new Christmas jammies on. What a great looking bunch all thanks to Santa.

My parents had the same furniture in their house. Isn't that funny! It looks like you had a good time.
