Anderson Christmas Party

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL (busy, weight gaining, dramatic, stressful, magical, family fun) TIME OF THE YEAR! The Anderson Family Christmas party has come & gone. I look forward to it every year. We had a delish dinner consisting of funeral potatoes, rolls (from Kneaders...Y U M), halibut, salmon, beef roast, peas, veggie tray & cheese ball. It's weird how as the years have went by - we just don't seem to consume as much food as we use to. There were a TON of leftovers.

One of my favorite Christmas party activities is the yearly pictionary tournament. It's fun to see everyones " ART " skills. Here is a picture of Caleb & Blake. Blake's picture was "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus".

Still playing pictionary. I love how Dylan & Griffen both look super special.

Caleb got a Thomas the Train pillow pet from Grammy & Papa Don. He LOVED it...until he saw that Blake got a shark pillow pet. BUT - Caleb has since forgotten about the Shark & sleeps with Thomas every night.

Opening up a toy from Griffen & Blake to Taylor & Rylee. They were sleepy little girls during present time.

Caleb got the RIO DVD, some finger paints & a sucker from Baby Bodine.

My cute scarf & head warmer *WITH* a spot for your ponytail from my parents. Casey got some nice sunglasses.

All of the Anderson grandchildren. Griffen is holding Taylor & Blake is holding Rylee.

Super sporty Angela showing her new head warmer.

My parents got all of the kids these fabulous sleigh bells. I think that they are my favorite gift. My Aunt Marchelle made them & I think that she did an outstanding job.

The party was the day after my birthday...so my mom got a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting for us to enjoy.
