Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve this year was at my parent's house, which is always my favorite!  It was a great day with all my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma and grandpa and of course my sisters and everybody else!  We got lots of presents and ate way to much food!

Michelle & I 

Of course, Lindsay can't be left out 

My adorable little sister and her hubby!

Love this...and look, no skinny arm 

Love this one too! 

 

Andrea who coaches cheerleading at the junior high told me this pose is called the "cupcake" by her cheerleaders....we wanted to do it too!! 

CUPCAKE!

After everybody left, Kelsey, Michelle & I all went to the mall then to Target because Michelle was wanting some brown boots and I wanted the movie Pitch Perfect.  Of course, they were all sold out of the movie so we thought we would try wally world and YES they had it!!  We went back to the house and all watched it together...it was so fun!!  That movie is a new favorite for sure!!

Christmas Eve Eve

Christmas Eve Eve is always one of our favorite times to celebrate!  I love getting to spend time with my sisters, parents and nieces and nephew.  We always have pizza from our favorite place!  This year Katie made this great salad and I can't wait to eat it again!!

Christmas 2012

The Saturday before Christmas, we celebrated with my Dad's side of the family.  Every year, we rent out a pavilion at a local park and have it there because our family has gotten to big for anyones house!  It's always a really great time and I'm glad I got to go this year instead of working like last year.

Michelle & her favorite cousin Chad 

We always do some kind of entertainment and this year it was some games.  We played a pictionary game and my team won!  Then we played a game where you and a partner stand with one arm behind each others back so you have a left arm from one person then the right arm on the other person and have to wrap a gift!  My team won again and I would say with a fabulous wrapping job!!  HA!!
