Christmas Party Animals...

We are Christmas Party animals. We must love them or something because every year we are overwhelmed by the partying. As usual, they all fall in the same week.

First we had the Jeppsen Family party. Some breakfast was eaten, some Bingo was played, and some Santa came with gifts for the kids.

 Later that day we had a party with my mom's side of the family, the Mendelkows. Once again, we ate food, we talked slashed laughed, Santa made an appearance, and I believe some people played some games. I'm too cool to participate in them.

 The next day we attended Doug's family's party. Guess what? We ate, played some games (I participated in these ones because they were more awesome) We all had to guess the amount of money in a jar. I don't remember who won, but it wasn't Jared or myself. However, my guess was closer than Jared's and that is all that matters.

Everyone putting in their guess for the money jar.

 Then Doug's parents gave all the kids a gift. No Santa visit at this party, he was probably really busy.

 Last but not least, our Christmas Eve party with the Halling side of the family. First we did our little gift exchange with the Jeppsens, then headed to the church for the other party.

 Ate some delicious food, played some games, chatted, did gifts, sang Christmas Carols, good times.

Jared playing the Ice Melting game. You had to melt your ice cube fasted without touching it. I don't think he won...

 So yeah, that was a lot of Christmas parties. Kind of crazy that time of the year, but we had fun!
