These pics are from my moms ultra cool Christmas party. It lasts about two hours and is loads of fun. This year we had about 78 people in the house at one time. It was chaotic and crazy! My mom every year gets a white elephant gift and a nice gift for everyone in the family. She works all year to accumilate enough for everyone. Then on Christmas night we all come together in the basement and she passes gifts out to the babies, toddlers, kids, teenagers, then adult grandchildren, and last the best, us (the kids). We all get to catch up with cousins, nieces, nephews, and siblings. My sweet mother is the kin keeper in our family and she does a great job keeping track of everyone. We all, I am sure, are grateful for her love and kindness. We love you mom!!!
