Sunday night Santa made it to our house. Better late than never we say. Everyone had to wait on the stairs as usual in great anticipation.
The stocking opening took place upstairs in the usual spots.
There was even a little extra money in each stocking to go into the family cruise fund!
We moved downstairs for the present opening.
Some of the things we got were not real surprises! But at least they fit.
Other things really were BIG surprises.
And some things were just pretty darn cool like this hoodie that Dayton and Brooke gave Bo. It has headphones on the strings and a plug in in the pocket. Now that is cool.
Dayton and Brooke are now set to be real campers.
Cado is watching with anticipation as I open the gift he gave me!
Mariah was very excited at this sight.
And Cado got the one thing he had asked for...magnetic silly putty. Now that guy is making some big money on this scheme. The silly putty simply has a magnet in it. Why didn't I think of that!
We saved the best present for last. Anyone who watches Duck Dynasty as reliously as Cado does will understand. (i.e. Carrie Wallace)
The annual Christmas Party was held on New Years Eve due to the fact that we went to Star Valley for Christmas. The die hard friends and families came to eat, play games and greet the new year.
Everyone was a part of the foosball, ping pong and dance off competition. It was single elimination so for some people it was a short game night and for others it was long. Lezlee tried to use all sorts of tactics to win at any game she was playing.
We did not know that so many of us could beat the younger generation at those dance moves!
And at foosball!
Hum, and at ping pong!
The competition got really competitive when it was two of the same generation competing!
Dave even pushed me down at one point!
Needless to say, it was very entertaining and a high calorie filled night. We made it to midnight, had our sparkly and then got to sleep in the next morning. Ah, what a great way to welcome 2013!
