'Tis the Season for Parties!

Every December Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Hilda leave their home in sunny California and venture out to snowy Utah for our annual Christmas Party. Grandpa always provides the ham and the rest of us provide the rest of the yummy food. This year the party was at our house.

A sure sign of a successful party...or a sure sign we're all a bunch of pigs!

Grandma and Grandpa

J.T. is the youngest grandkid and is the only one left that gets an actual present. He loves his firetruck they got him. And Mom and Dad love the noise it makes! ;) Grandpa and Grandma give the rest of the kids gift cards which they love. They have a lot of fun going to the store with daddy and picking out a present. And I love the fact that its daddy that takes them to the store. :)

Its not a party without a good lightsaber duel.

All the grandsons (except Jace who was at, um, I think they said ballet practice???) ;-)

Hilda made jewelry for all the ladies. She made the necklace and earrings I'm wearing in this picture. Thank you, Hilda!
Me, Caijsa, Hilda

We always know when the first big snowstorm will hit Utah...it will be the weekend of our Christmas party, guaranteed! This year Jerry and Hilda decided not to chance getting stuck in their condo in Park City and missing the party. They spent the night at our house the night before and the night of the party. We sure enjoyed their company!
