Party

Because my sister and I have this problem with CRAP. We have decided the last to years to not exchange Christmas gifts with each other or our kids. We will create memories instead. So for the last 2 years after all the Christmas rush and hub-ub is over we planned a party to go bowling at BYU then to Brick Oven for dinner. Last year we forgot to take pictures so this year I broke out the old cell phone and took pictures cause of course I forgot my camera. So this is our Christmas present to our kids from their cousins. Spending time together and doing something fun.


James, Jack, Jesse for them we couldn't get started fast enough.
















Joseph and my mom with Christy's back to us and Chaleesa standing in the back ground. Don't they just look like they are so excited to be humoring their mom and aunt?
















Jesse so excited to be bowling. Look at the air that kid can get. James and Harrison always willing to help him out.















All I can say is its a good thing that my husband doesn't read my blog. I would be shot for posting this picture.


















Chaleesa on the far side and the little boys just watching and having so much fun.


I took alot more picture but I might get disowned if I publish them. All in all it was a good time to be had. I think we accomplished our goal, my kids are already asking when we can do it again. Memories are the best. No clean up afterward, no toys to trip on, no wondering what do buy and then buying something just cause you need to have something Christmas morning. Best idea Christy and I have come up with yet. But I feel many more brewing. Together we are unstoppable? OK maybe not but we can pretend right?
