Another family party

Saturday was another family party. It's tradition that we each bring an ornament. We exchange them white elephant style and my uncle Brett always starts out the exchange with wager on who's going to cry this year.

Owen was number 2 and he quickly hid his ornament behind the chair so no one would steal it! Smart kid!

The newlyweds Jordan and Abby. Brett kept teasing Jordan that he'd be the one to cry since this was his first year. They didn't keep this ornament long.

This is my sister, my grandma and me. Grandmas is recovering from her second bout of breast cancer.


This is my gorgeous niece Kelsey.


Matthais and one of the ornaments we ended up with. Owen got a snowman ornament, Millie a Hannah Montana ornament, Ian a miniature view-master ornament, and Matthais got a Santa/fish ornament. We were being the antagonistic family and stealing even when we really didn't want it. We'll be in trouble next year!

I love family Christmas parties. The best part is the cousins gettting to play with one another. Last week Neil and I went to his family Christmas party and won GPS Navigator and a ShopVac. The prizes were great, but the company just didn't compare.
