Christmas with Friends

Every year we get together with some of our closest friends and celebrate Christmas. We eat LOTS of yummy food, exchange gifts, and the kids make handmade ornaments for us to hang on our trees.  We always have such a good time and there is nothing better than getting together with friends during the holidays!  What a blessing!
Group picture of the kids.

We had a surprise for them...can you guess what?

This was Lakelyn checking out the surprise...

...and Oaks

...and Avery...any guesses?

SANTA!!!
He was checking his list.

Brody kept saying, "Is this guy for real?"  It was too funny!

Jovie was not a big fan of Santa!



Avery and Oaks cracked me up!  They were so into watching everyone get their turn with Santa.  Chaz wasn't too sure about him!


Lakelyn didn't much like him either, but then he gave her candy so that helped a bit!


Opening her present from Jovie!
Poor Jovie had a crowd when it was her turn to open a present!




Two of the greatest friends a girl could ask for!

Trying to take a picture on Gino's phone!  If you know Gino, you know she ALWAYS has her phone!!

Katie needs to keep making those kind of comments! I had such a good time and always look forward to getting together for Christmas every year.
