The rest of Christmas!!!

I have been waiting to do this post because I wanted to get copies of the pictures that Kara took at the Hutchison party. I'm still waiting but it's not all her fault. I need to remind her more often. I did still one picture off of her blog of my mom and dad with everyone of their great grandchildren.

We had some fun parties with some really great food. Here are a few pics of them.

These first few are at the Tarbet family party. I gave these shirts to Phil, Kade and Brady for Christmas and they all wore them for the party. I thought it was pretty funny since they didn't plan it.

This is most of the cousins and Grandma and Grandpa in these pictures.

Jaxon and Brynly were Mary and Joseph while Kara read the Christmas Story. Bryn wouldn't hold baby Jesus so Jax did. We also managed to get Brooks and Brady in this one.

These next pictures are at my house on Christmas day. Brynly is showing her cheer moves in her new Bronco outfit.

We've finished breakfast and the turkey is cooking so Kara and I were off to Maverick to buy batteries.

This was breakfast. Jessica's mom and Garth and her brother Billy stayed at Kade and Jessica's house on Christmas eve, so they joined us for breakfast. We had a great time. As you can see in the background, Brooks is doing most of the cooking. This is one of our Christmas morning traditions.

Kelsey and Brady at breakfast. Kelsey took most of the pictures so this is about the only one I have of her.

I think that this picture is priceless! Great grandpa and Great grandma with all of the great grandchildren! How many times are we going to accomplish this?

Another Christmas gone by. It really does come and go fast. I really love Christmas. I think it's my favorite holiday but this year it really came quick and I was a little unprepared. I didn't get a lot of my decorations up and it took me almost until Christmas eve to finish my shopping. I got sick this year also so that made it a little harder to get things done. I hardly ever get sick so that made it worse. I loved all of our gifts as well as sewing dolls at the Hutchison party. The very best part of all was the family time. I appreciate my kids and their spouses for their support at all of the extra stuff. They are great and it wouldn't be the same without them. It is always really neat to get with our parents and siblings and their children as well. You just can't have too much family time!
