Christmas Parties

This year we had quite a few Christmas Parties to go to, but unfortunately, I only got pictures of one...This season has gotten away from me.  It has gone SO FAST.  I feel like I have lists of things to get done everyday.  It's been fun though!

We had Mike over to dinner and we wanted to make a Christmas dinner for him since he won't be around on Christmas.  We had ham and twice baked potatoes and Nutella cheesecake for dessert.  We gave Mike his Christmas present and had fun hanging out.  Jeff and Megan stopped by later and that was a fun bonus.

We drove up to Midway to have dinner with Jared and Janalee and the kids.  Last year they came over on Christmas Eve and we did dinner and a Christmas program and made Gingerbread cookies.  Since they are going to Fallon this year, we decided to get together earlier.  Janalee made dinner and I finally got to see their new house.  The kids LOVED playing with their cousins.  Saxon talks about his cousins often enough that Bridger refers to them as "Saxon's cousins".

We had our annual Christmas Party with the Prices' and the Williams'.  Holly is in town and I was so excited because I've missed her.  Saxon was thrilled to see Bryn.  Right when I walked in, Bryn says "Hi KK, you look pretty tonight!"  She's awesome :)  Andi was nice enough to host it at her house because she is the only one of us with a house :)

Here are some pictures from the party...

Bridger, Cohen, Kenna, and Bryn sat at the little table...
Saxon and Caden got to be big boys at the grown-ups table...

All the kids opening their gifts...
Saxon got a slap bracelet, gummy bugs, and a McDonalds gift card.  Andi gave him 4 "Bakugans Battle Brawlers."  She said it's time my kids got into Bakugan.  I had no idea what they were, but they've been a big hit.  Saxon even sleeps with his to make sure no one else touches them.
Bridger got the same things as Saxon and devoured all of his gummy bugs right away.  He also loves his Bakugan.  In fact, he takes it everywhere and I have to keep taking it away from him in stores so that no once thinks we stole it.

Nate had to work so Mike took us to Olive Garden and to Thanksgiving Point to see the lights.  Olive Garden was SO LOUD.  My kids were covering their ears and asking to go home.  Some guy proposed to the girl sitting next to him and the whole restaurant was cheering.  After we left, Saxon complained the whole way to Thanksgiving Point that he just wanted to go home.  After we saw the lights, he complained the whole way home that he wanted to do it again :)
