DEWITT CHRISTMAS EVE

Got to love the DeWitt Christmas Eve gathering...

There was lots of
STORY TELLING
GIFT GIVING
LAUGHING
HUGGING
KISSING
EATING
PRANKS
&
KIDS

Fred got more word puzzle books than one man should own in a life time!
The Kids put on a nativity scene, then opened gifts and ran off to play
While the adults had their turn gift giving
Rex wrote one of the funniest (i was skeptic, but it really was funny) poems!
Justin got just what he wanted!
Stacy got her baby fix!
and the rest of us played games, while poor Fred turned into the game!
AW we LOVE you Fred!
It's the simplicity that I <3 here!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

SANTA

TUSTIN WASN'T TOO SURE...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Why I *heart* the HOLIDAYS!

FAMILY

This is at the DeWitt's house before our Shumway Christmas Party...

Paris & her cousin Preston! Uncle Jesse and Tustin!

Sorry Fred, Tustin really does Love his Grandpa....But this pic was too great to pass up! I LOVE FRED LAUGHING NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD WHILE TUSTIN IS JUST NOT HAVING IT! He is like his daddy, hates pictures! I LOVE IT!

SHUMWAY CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THE BLOOMERS!

There is always an abundance of food, Super delicious homemade salsa complimentary of Jim. This year they had amazing tostadas AKA Super nachos with all the fixings, SO YUMMY! AND endless amounts of dessert! I starved and ran a lot the week prior just to save up for this night! AND IT WAS WORTH IT!
Then we have a white elephant. Here are some of the highlights!

Jake got a figurine of Jesus playing soccer!

can you guess who brought it!?!
ANOTHER FAVORITE!

this one remained anonymous, for obvious reasons!

I GOT THE BEST ONE OF ALL! A SNUGGIE!
I seriously have been wanting one of these! lucky me!

Then there was our traditional singing of Christmas Carols! Even Justin had a good time!
If you ask him he'll deny it but a picture is worth
a thousand words!

SURE AM! I am going to swallow my PRIDE and go PRIVATE! There are REALLY GOOD reasons to have your blog private...i haven't had anyone post pics of my kids, haven't researched it to find out really, but if it has or might happen I am going to do my best to atleast not make it so EASY for the crazys! So I am sure you all know the drill 'everyone else is doing it'
