We had so much fun on Christmas that we decided to keep
it going through the following day!
Jaxson got here for his visit and
got to open his portion of gifts from everyone.
He seemed pleased.
and in the spirit of hosting a party, giving dirty santa gifts,
celebrating the holiday with Jaxson here... Uncle Chris and
Aunt Dana invited us over for a shin dig.
Not to mention our on going 'those aren't real crab cakes'
with the Maryland man himself and his long standing
statement of saying he will make us some REAL
Maryland crab cakes.
:)
Well, after 6+ years of saying he will make
us these delicious cakes.... he FINALLY did!
We wined and dined with fancy china and enjoyed
a full course meal that included crab soup as well as
crab cakes. It was fabulous.
We loved it.
Job well done
Kudos to the man from Maryland for talking a
big game and then following through.
:)
p.s., the kids sat at their own little table and ate Chic-fil-a.
My kind of partaay
The Paul's were excellent hosts, and not only did
they serve a fine meal, but they included lots of
presents and prizes and goodies.
We played dirty Santa, but the gifts were beyond
generous and catered to each of us. fun fun
We played Charades which is interesting
with three boys that think they need to win every
game and 2 - three year olds that are a hoot and a half, not to mention some
competitive adults.
At one point Jaxson was trying to lay on the ground and conform to the shape
of a donut... Dana was picking Strawberries in a field and getting them out
of her teeth, Caden was trying to be Scooby-doo, and I had to mimic thunder and lightning!
Aunt Dana had a card in her hand and was trying to help Kellen on his turn
and she leans over and shows him the card and says, 'can you act this out?'
ummmm, well he can't read, so I'm guessing he's not going
to do well on acting that out Aunt Dana! :)
lol
So he gets up in front of everyone and kind of stands there
and we're all like 'can you act out what you're trying to be?'
and he says, ' like Superman?'
it was too cute.
The next turn she took him to the other room to tell him what his word
was and how to act it out and he was 'hit a homerun'
so he was mimicking hitting a home run and running around the living
room...
PRICELESS
I was messing with lighting on my camera this night as well as
using a lense I hadn't gotten out in a while, so these pictures
are what they are.. but even better than the pics are the memories
made and moments shared. good times with family!
We decided we need to work this in as one of our yearly holiday
traditions.
Happy holidays to spend with the ones you love!
