Christmas Parties

We always have a Anderson family party and a Breinholt family party. This year Breinholt's was on Saturday night and Anderson's on Sunday morning in Payson! It is always a fun time!

Here are some of the Anderson cousins doing the nativity. They each sang or played a piano song for us. We went to church, had some good food and the adults had a goodie exchange/contest. The kids had a gift exchange also.
Poor Alexa woke up that morning really sick, throwing up, 104 fever. As she was throwing up she was begging not to miss the party. So we loaded her up with a few throw up baggies and a blanket and off we went. She was quarantined to a back bedroom and only came out for gifts with a mask on. She looked like Michael Jackson! What a good sport. This also began a week and a half long adventure of one of the worst flu 's we have had, at our house for Christmas!!!

The kids exchanged hot chocolate mugs for Christmas. Boston was very Excited to get his signed Max Hall mug!
Michael Jackson aka Alexa with her very cute mug
Sera with her "grown up" mug
The Breinholt kids exchanged hats this year. That was a fun change. The kids were so excited.
Sera got a cute wrap. She wears them all the time.
My boys got Cardinals baseball caps. As you can see they really like them.
Grace and Alexa got matching Michael Jackson hats. Just what they wanted!
Grandma and Grandpa Breinholt got most of the kids pillow pets! They were a hit! I heard a lot of screaming!!
We love the tradition of family parties and getting to spend time with our families. Christmas wouldn't be the same without them.
