Christmas Party

Saturday night we headed to the Nesselroad's house for our annual Christmas Party.  We always have such a great time at this party because it's a time for all of us friends to get together, eat, and be merry!  This year was even more fun because there were eight kiddos running around.  It's funny how quickly this group of friends is growing and changing.  Next year this group has three weddings and five babies on the way, which means that our Christmas party next year will have at least 13 kids!  This year the food was amazing.  Seriously, I didn't have enough room on my plate to try everything.  After dinner, we participated in our White Elephant style gift exchange.  Josh and I wound up with a $25 gift card to Cheesecake Factory--thanks Sally and Bryan!  Afterwards, the kids opened up gifts and then we attempted to take a picture of them.  "Attempt" is the key word--it's difficult to get seven kids to sit straight, look at the camera, and smile!

The three of us.  It's so weird to think that last year Logan was 5 months old and was getting passed around from person-to-person, and this year he was running around on his own.

This picture is not the best one, but it certainly is my favorite!  Matthew is drooling, while Logan is squishing Lillie, who happens to be picking her nose, while Tyler is clapping--good times!


There were many attempts, but I believe this one was the best.  Although they're not all looking at the camera or smiling, at least they're all sitting--which is a huge success!  From left to right--Matthew, Ellie, Lillie, Logan, Tyler, Wyatt, Trever, and Quinton (not pictured).
