Family Parties

"I am Santa Claus"

Helping with the 12 days of Christmas song

We went to the Zismer family party the Saturday before Christmas. It's great to see all of Marks cousins who we only see about 3 times a year. The family is growing, and all of the little kids are getting so big. We played a ton of fun games, and there was a lot of great spaghetti and meatballs to eat! Thank you to my Favorite Uncle Kevin & Aunt Lori and there kids for putting so much time and preparation into it!!



On the Sunday before Christmas we went of to Marks parents and had another little party. It was really fun. Gaylene gave us all hand-powered wheat grinders!! She made us grind wheat, and make home made wheat bread to have with dinner. It was hilarious watching all of the big boys (Mark, Kurt, Kary, and Jorge) trying to grind wheat the fastest. The bread turned out great, and I'm glad I have a wheat grinder now!

On the Monday before Christmas we went the the Rentmeister Family party...what a BIG family! I have to say I've never had meatloaf before, but Uncle Dave made some that I actually really liked! It was a really fun party.... The little kids did a pinata, and opened presents, and people of course performed little things for all of us. I found out the Easton, and Sara can actually SING...they were both very good. I'm excited already for next years party!

Pinata

Kip got 2 bucks to hit Steve in the "You know whats"

JR stuffed Siers pockets full of Candy, which half of them made it to the wash!

Greatest presents ever!

Desert Star Theater

My brothers and sisters have a tradition of going to some kind of Musical or play during Christmas. We've gone to a lot over the years...This year we went back to the Desert Star Theater. It is always so much fun to go to dinner and then to the show. We missed Steve this year but it's okay because he was out with Whitney (his "ex" girlfriend, who he sure has been spending A LOT of time with lately, and we all LOVE her). Amanda didn't come because she is TERRIFIED to drive in the snow, and she lives in Layton. Without them there was no one to tease, or to drop new phones in drinks...(I was so glad when your phone started to work again Steven!) Hopefully we can keep up the tradition, and everybody can come next year!
