I love my family's Chirstmas parties. There is always amazing food that can be counted on to be the same every year. The Ballou's have lobster and chowder, the Fonnesbeck's have ham, funeral potatoes, rolls, and 7-layer dip, and the Green's have pizza. It's a beautiful thing. This past Saturday we were attending the enjoyable chaos that is the Green family party. I really love the families that I married into, and this one is no exception. Everyone comes in the late morning and stays until the wee hours. Grandma Green (my mother-in-law's mother) out-does herself every year with gifts, food, gingerbread houses, and games. Last year was hard to beat because we had just gotten back from Hawaii, and although we were still on a high from that trip, Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa is always something everyone in the fam looks forward to. This year was extra fun for us because Brenner was more into his gifts, opening presents, and lending a helping hand to anyone who needed the paper torn off thier gift. He got a really fun toy truck that you can ride on and makes noises (yay.) but of course he was more interested in the other kid's toys. We made it home before midnight with a lot of new swag, and fun was had by all.

I love Brenner's face in the pic of him opening his present. And precious little Clark looks so cute with Santa! You are lucky you guys have so much family close by. We didn't have one family party this year because no one is around :(
How much fun is that! And all of that food!! That's the one thing we're missing this Christmas, and family. Hope you gave up on your 'no dairy' diet for all of that food! Yumm!!
P.s. I finally figured out who Travis reminds me of! The guy from The breakup, and wedding crashers, ohhh,.... what ever his name is! Do you get that a lot?
so fun! Wonderful, lets play games soon!
