Family Parties...

You gotta love Christmas time when you have a gazillion parties and get to see all the cousins, aunts, uncles, and some people you don't really know at all. I know you are all laughing but you know it's true. Some of the time you don't even know the people you are talking to. Needless to say I enjoy all the parties and the time that we get to see family. Our first party was with the entire Jenkins side of the family. We did get a picture of the entire extended family, but I don't have a copy just yet, so that will come later. We did get a picture of all the grand kids within Kurt's immediate family. Grandma Lynette made pj's for all the kids since it was a pajama party, so here is the moment captured.
Next was the Margetts party. This side of my family is quite small and we try to get together as often as we can, however it's never enough. Without my sweet grandparents we just don't get together as often. Grandma Audrey was always having parties and some kind of fun thing at her house to get us all together. I definitely miss those days. We do however always have an annual Christmas party to get us all together.


The brothers! Paul, Cory, dad, & Steve

Then it was the Blight party....which is my mom's side of the family. This family is huge, mainly because it's two big huge families...my Grandma Bonnie and he sister Sharon and all the kids and their families. It's always a blast and this is the one party that Santa comes to. Ethan wasn't so sure about Santa...he didn't freak out, but he wasn't liking sitting on his lap. He did tell him "Ho Ho Ho" and "Bye!" but that's about it.
On Christmas Eve it's tradition that we have the Ashby party, which is Kurt's mom's side of the family. It's always a fun party and makes Christmas Eve night go by fast! We always play games and get to chat with everyone. This year Sue out did herself by doing some chime songs. It was pretty funny! It's always good to see everyone on the Ashby side.

Lovin the dessert


The twins and their girlies!
