Christmas Family Fun

Last night we had our family christmas party with Scott's family. His Aunt is going to Cali. for Christmas this year, so we decided to exchange gifts, and eat lots of food before she leaves. We still will join them on Christmas day in Arvada. We had a great evening, and had lots of elves even come by! Thank you for all the yummy treats and gifts!


We have a family tradition that we eat Abelskivers every year at christmas time. They are a Danish Donut like yummy fattening treat. Scott's family secret recipe gets made and he cooks them! It is his fav. thing to do. They turned out delicious as usual, and I think his mom is glad that she doesn't have to cook them anymore, while the tradition still continues. :)


While we were opening gifts, Santa stopped by to all our delight! HE surprised us this year by dropping by a bit early. The kids were ESTACTIC and loved every minute they had. Ally even wished he could just stay a little while longer. It was so darn cute! Blake however, wanted NOTHING to do with him, but we did get a quick shot of him on Santa's knee. He loves Santa from a distance...but who really would blame him? Think about it, a man in a red suit, with a belly and really white hair wanting to hold you? Yea..my thoughts exactly. :) We had a great night and can't wait for Christmas to get here! Hurry up!











Fun times!
