Family Festivities

Luke had to work the day after Thanksgiving so Jax and I headed to Idaho to catch the end of my family's Thanksgiving/Christmas party. There was tons of food, we played lots of games, six puzzles were done, and fun was had by all :) A group went and saw Mockingjay one night. Jax was trying to be helpful with one of the puzzles so I took him in another room and turned on some music for him to dance to and pretty soon we were having an impromptu dance party. It was probably the first and last extended family dance party. How can you resist dancing along with our cute Jax? 

 Here are some of us playing the largest game of Phase Ten ever.

 The family Turkey Bowl was short and sweet. It was a super windy day. All three touchdowns were from interceptions. The ball wouldn't fly straight on the long passes.  We lasted about ten minutes before the old guys packed it in. 

The Christmas party gift exchange game. We all draw a number which decides the order we pick presents. You can open a wrapped present or steal someone's opened one. 

 Grayson, Claire, and Jax were really excited by the pile of presents. They were a little less so when we wouldn't let them tear them all open. It's so fun to have babies around.

 Coincidentally my parents both opened cat presents.

 We have so much fun when we all get together. I look forward to this weekend all year!

 Jax was really happy to get his picture taken. Poor Claire was wondering why we were torturing her.

 Glad to be home with Daddy. We missed him!
