PAR-TAY!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!Dustin-My Little drummer Boy! Degan-Eating all his decorations!
Dillon-Having Fun decorating his gingerbread house!
Jones Family singing Christmas Carols!
Our Family has lots of traditions and one of our favorites is Granny & Papa's Annual Christmas Party at their house!! Jordan & Alisha made the long drive down from Idaho so while they were here Granny decided to PAR-TAY!! this year was no disappointment just as fun as all the others! we had dinner (yummy tostadas), sang Christmas Carols (jingle bells a lot cause the kids knew that one), White Elephant Gifts (I got the book: What to expect-The toddler years) , Gingerbread Houses (After all these years Granny finally figured out that having them pre-assembled, ready to decorate works best for the little ones-less frustrating & less mess!), & Papa usually tells the story of Christs birth but somehow this year we skipped it. It's always a lot of fun to get together especially this time of year! Can't wait till next year!! Thanks Mom & Dad for a great Party! Darin's bummed he missed it!
