...Moms Christmas Party...

We always have my moms Christmas party on the 23rd, but this year we had it earlier then that cause she was going to Denver to spend Christmas with my brother and his family. I love my moms party, its just a laid back fun party! The kids always have a great time with each other, and they all get spoiled by my mom! This year was no different! We had a wonderful meal, the nativity was just as funny as ever, the cousin gift exchange was awesome, and Santa dropped by... making it another successful party!

My nieces came over to play the afternoon of the party, so we took them to the party with us.
Dont they all look so cute?!

We have a lot more girls then boys in our family! 

The nativity this year was nothing but awesome! 

Ry was an angel, as well as Sayla, Kenna, and Kate

Mat and Katie stared as the camel and the donkey

Rachel was Mary

John played Joseph and Anystin was Jesus.

Ry was the angel with a cane

In comes the wiseman, Ben

The cast and crew! 

Santa came!! 

Santa gave all the kids a stuffed animal with a little note attached to it with something they did good during the year.

Ry picked Rachy this year for the cousin gift exchange, and was so excited to give her her gift.

Ella picked Ry

You cant tell by this picture, but she loved her gift!
Thank You Ella!!!

My mom does a great job at keeping all the gifts even for the kids. It makes it so nice, and then the kids dont get their feelings hurt if someone gets more. This year they all got pillow pets and a new DVD. They were all so excited to get their pillow pets!!! 

Me, Shani and D went in on a gift for my mom. We took all my grandparents old shirts ( The ones they wore all the time) and had them made into a quilt. It turned out perfect, and my mom loved it! 

After gifts we hung out and enjoyed everyones company while the kids played with all their new toys!
Thank you mom for everything!!
