No, the Rec center isn't our favorite place to have family parties. It's just that no one wants to host the Christmas Eve get together at their house now that our families are getting so big. I like having them at someone's home because it seems so much more cozy. If we had a larger home I'd definately hold it there. The plus side of the Rec center is we get to play basketball (lightning was my favorite) and that the kids get to run around like crazy and no one is left cleaning up their messing house Christmas Eve.

Hudson got a new Steeler's jersey. The one Santa brought him 4 years ago just doesn't fit anymore for some reason!

And don't forget the annual cousin picture taking feat by Gram's fireplace. What an ordeal...but luckily everyone is facing forward. That is a miracle in itself.
We got a lot of board games for Christmas if anyone wants to play! Some of our favorites are Kahootz, Doodle Dice and Blokus. It's 3 days later and my house is still a mess as if it was Christmas morning! But that's OK. Now we are looking forward to a week of fun with the kids- movies, eating out, sledding, bowling and temple square are some of the activities on our agenda before school starts again. Happy Holidays!

Awesome summary! You got some good pictures too! (I think you could have left mine out - it seems out of place up there by myself.) You are really on the ball to get that up so soon. It was so nice to see you all. Cam finally possesses his own guitar hero - now he probably won't need you guys to give yours up for days when we visit.
Ang, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! It looked like you had a great holiday. Your kids all looked so happy with their new presents. Santa treated them well this year. Your family party and get togethers looked so fun. It's so fun to see what all my old friends are doing. Thank goodness for the world of blogs.
It looks like so much fun. We want to take you Birts on in a game of Lightning soon! love you guys!
oh I just loved your re-cap and looking at all your photos...those kids in the nativity are adorable. What a fun holiday for you.
