Christmas 2012

We had a great Christmas--spending time with both sides of the family!  Lots of food, people and fun!  I had found a minute to win it family competition on pinterest that I thought would be great for our Christmas gatherings.  So we played that with both Jon's family and mine. 

Trying to get a good picture for our Christmas card (hard to do with 3 kids!)

My pretty baby!

Dressed up for church

 Minute to Win it at our Christmas brunch
Games: 
-trying to balance the ornaments on the yardstick
-shaking bells out of the box around your waist
-marshmallow toss
-nut stacker
-get the cookie from your forehead to your mouth (without hands)
-cup stacking
-opening a special prize with gloves on
What a fun activity this was to do altogether!  We may need to repeat in future years! 

Christmas Eve--was trying to get a good one pic--but Elise was not in a good mood (even kisses didn't help)
