Party time!!!

Tonight was Matt's side of the family's christmas party. We were excited to go! It had been so long since we had seen the whole family. Wow a lot can happen in 5 years. It was great to see my friends that I used to work with that are now my family. It was also great to be able to visit and see Matt's sister and her family. We haven't seen them since July. Well we had more good food and good conversation. Later in the night santa clause came to visit the little kids. McKenzie was in his face the whole time. Santa would pick a candy cane and the candy cane had the kids names on them. This determined who got to sit on his lap. Madisynn's name was drawn first. Oh she was so adorable on santas lap. She wasn't shy at all! McKenzie just wanted to get on santa's lap so bad, but he kept drawing other kids names. She was right beside santa the whole time. Santa fineally called her name about half way through. She was so excited to sit on santa's lap get a candy cane and get a present. Madisynn got a little sketch a doodle, bubbles, a ball, and a growing pet egg. That should be fun you put the egg in water, and the egg will break after 12-24 hrs slowly. After the egg shell is compeltely broken the pet will grow daily. Sounds pretty awesome to me. Can't wait to try it. McKenzie got a seal that expands up to 6 times it's size when put in water. That soundes pretty cool too, but McKenzie left it at the party. I guess we'll have to go find another one! After Santa was done visiting with the kids he left and we had a program where the families if they wanted to could share something. This family is full of talented people. I know that I will never forget the talents that were shared.
