Grandma Linda's Christmas Party 2009!

Grandma Linda's Annual Christmas Party is a "must attend" event of the season. Everyone looks forward to it all year long because this is a time when EVERYONE comes home! We get to see Mont and Lisa's families, Marleen and Jimmy's families (and their darling grand kids) and on down the list! The house is packed to the bursting point, but that's just how we like it! It is so fun to see everyone and catch up! The only person missing is dad, but when we are all together I know he is there.
We always start off with a yummy Mexican dinner complete with ice cream bars, a program, singing Christmas carols, a visit from Santa and the annual gift exchange. This is one of my favorite nights of the year!
Kolby being the usual goofball with Landon and Shelby. Landon Dude is that an earring your sporting??? Better not show your daddy!

Uncle Preston and Brecklyn Lee snuggling up for the program.

Ryan singing with his guitar in the program! What a talented guy! Marleen is in the back ground singing along! What a pretty lady!


My sweet boy!








Here is the jolly old elf making his big entrance. The kids kept saying Santa looked like someone named "Dusty"??? Sure looked like Santa to me!





Kolby fibbing to Santa about how good he has been all year! While grandma Linda and Keylee help Santa with the treats!





Here is Brinley trying to con Santa out of a D.S.







Kache sitting on Santa.......how sweet! Why won't you ever sit on my lap anymore you silly boy!





Three pretty ladies waiting in line to see Santa!
Cloe Hodges, Bralei Brindley and McKinnley Brown.




What a NERD!





Aunt Kami hogging sweet baby Heston or "old blue eyes" as I call him!




Heston giving those "blue eyes" a rest in my arms. I miss that fat pork!







Brinley and mom looking their best!




Wow! I hope that facial doesn't stick! Cindee and I being super silly waiting for the annual white elephant gift exchange to start! Always the "highlight" of the evening especially for the lucky bugar that opens Uncle Alan's "unique" and often "highly inappropriate" gift with LOTS of laughs!
