Christmas Party.

Yesterday we celebrated with my mom's side of the family and loved every minute. It is such a joy to see everyone and best of all, host everyone at our house! (We tried to get it in Arizona but no one signed up for that one!) We always have a great time. Lots of food, a mean game of white elephant where it is inevitable that something really tacky will end up coming back from years past, and family time together. Bam even joined in on the family fun! Reese loved everyone in her house. She showed off her room, playroom and anywhere else people would follow. First, Gigi had to perfect the pigtails (very important before you host a party)...

Before it all began, Dallas came walking up looking like this...

And I replied..."You don't look very Christmasy (there goes that word again)"
Moments later, this is what stood before me.

Lesson #1. Let Dallas where whatever in the crap he wants to. Lesson #2. Hide all sharpies.
Back to the festivities...
McKenzie was so sweet to Reese. She played with her any chance she got...

Playing in her playroom with Emory...

Reese and her Papa were best buddies as always... (her Daddy too)



They practiced jumping off the counter and landing in Papa's arms...


All of the guys would go missing from time to time. Where? Once again, the basement. Dallas has it looking so good. Here's his MAC sign I had made for him a few years back...

They did make it out once the white elephant game began. It was so much fun! Lots of awful gifts and fights over the good stuff!!

Wonder what lovely gift Chris is getting???

Oh...Ah....nothing like a pair of Tabasco underwear!

Reese loved playing. Gigi, Mommy, Daddy, Boo & Papa all let Reese pick their gift. She did good for me! I got travel trivial pursuit:pop culture.Reesie got some checkers...

Dallas opening his gift...

Reese helping out Boo...

Bam got to go last...A.k.a. the best number! He took a large remote control from Bob, who then stole lotto tix from Lauren. That's how it works, people!

So much fun! Thanks for coming everyone! Also, thanks to you blog devotees who managed to make it through this long post!
Oh.. a quick shot of the cutest little man ever...Lincoln. I'll get him on my biz blog too!
