January Family Dinner

It was our turn to host the family dinner this past month.  We were excited to get together with everyone!  Here are some pictures from the night.

We always love getting together with family!  We were sad when Janica's family couldn't make it this month, hopefully next month~

Christmas Party

Jason's family gets together for Christmas every year, and this year was no different.  There was good food, good company, and good fun!  I forgot my camera, but luckily a cousin had one and snapped some moments for us!

 Alex got a ball and the boys had fun rolling it back and forth to each other.

 DJ for a xylophone and everyone loved playing with it.

We had a great time at the party, but I wish I would have remembered my camera too!  The holidays are a great time to get together with family and celebrate.

 Shaileen being silly

 Bret tied Maddie up to the swing set with a jump rope.  I used to get tied up all the time by Bret when we were younger.  So this brought back memories, but the difference was that I loved trying to get out of it.

The girls loved playing on the swing set.

I have been blessed with a wonderful family!  I love getting together for family dinners!
