Christmas Party

I have always wanted to have a big Christmas party at my house. I figured this year was as good as any to start that tradition so I made invitaions and invited A LOT of people. I had everyone bring a dish to share so I wouldn't have to make a ton of food, bought graham crackers and made icing for gingerbread houses, cleaned, and cleaned , and cleaned some more. The time had come and people came, and more people came, and more people came, you get the idea. I invited somewhere between 25 - 30 families, luckily not everyone came or we would have been really cramped for space. In the end we had 55 people at my house, and we had a lot of fun. The kids went downstairs to make gingerbread houses, with some help from mostly mothers, and most of the dads stayed upstairs and ate. It was a crazy two hours but so much fun. Some may call me crazy but I will probably do it again next year, with a few changes of course.










I left Jaren in charge of taking pictures so this is all I have. If I had been taking them there would have been a lot more. Oh well, there's always next year.

Great Party! Do you ever see a picture of yourself and think, "huh, so that is what I look like." I saw me from 3 different angles, and I don't think I am all that impressed.
