Christmas Parties

Our first family party was at the McBride's. They just added on a new family room to their house and this was the first time that we were able to use it fully finished. We started by eating some of Kathy's delicious soups. Below is a picture that Hallie took of Sean and I. ( I forgot to blog about our 10 year anniversary that we celebrated on the 11th of Dec. I love you Sean!!)
Santa always comes to visit and brings presents. Dewey wanted nothing to do with him. So far, I have no pictures of Dewey with Santa. Maybe next year. All of the kids got new pajamas and slippers.

Our second party was at my parents house. Every year we draw names and the youngest gets to go first. Dewey got a Handy Manny with his tool box and tools.

Notice Dewey is sitting with my niece Cassie. He absolutely loves "Tassie" and calls her his girlfriend. Some day we will have to let him know that he cannot have cousins as girlfriends.lol

Hallie got a sweater and this huge jewelry set. She has been asking for a set like this for years, so she was pretty excited.

This is my nephew Gus. He's so cute that I just had to add this picture.

After all the little kids opened their presents, we drove into Jensen's Grove to see the live nativity. This is the first year that we have gone and it was pretty fun. You get to ride on wagons led by horses around to different nativity scenes. Here we are waiting in line.

Hallie drank her hot chocolate as we rode around on the wagon.

This is my sister Dawnette and most of her family.

Nobody could get a good picture of us, so we just took our own.

This is our Bishop's family. They were one of the more interesting nativity scenes to watch.

After the nativity, we headed back to my parents and then it was the adults turn to open their presents. Both party's were a lot of fun and we look forward to them every year.
