Our Christmas gathering this year took place at Yanney Park this year in Kearney. Usually we have it at one of my Aunt and Uncle's houses or Grandma and Grandpa's but my Aunt already had this placed booked and we had to use it before the end of the year. It was actually really nice and now that our family continues to grow we all had plenty of space. The only bad thing is we had to park what seemed like forever away and walk carrying all our gifts and food. I might add that it was super cold and windy out that day too.
Of course my mom had to buy a tree to make it feel like home. My brother was willing to carry it in. He was in a full blown sprint to get to the door as fast as he could.
Getting the tree ready for handmade ornaments and presents!

My cousins, uncle, husband and brother carrying things in for my Grandparents.
Landon loves cousin Dylan. He's been pointing at his picture and saying his name for weeks.
Making his own snowman ornament.
The rest of the family getting ready to make their own ornament! My Martha Stewart mother in the background giving directions. I might add that my Uncle Kurt did not want a pink ornament so he was trying to make black glitter as he considers himself the "black sheep" of the family. Martha "mom" did not like that.
Nap time; yea right Daddy!
Kent and his new bride Sarah and cousin Taylor adding the finishing touches!

Uncle Scotty helping opening a gift!
Soooooo tired but still had energy to open a couple more gifts.
Family Christmas bingo! I might add that I won twice. Our family places Bingo every year at Annevar during the summer. Do I even win there....NO! However, I did here. I think I'm saving my quarters next year and holding out until Christmas time.
Even though it was extremely cold it was a very beautiful Christmas Day spent with my amazing family!





I am glad your Grandma enjoyed her necklace! That's funny that your family plays BINGO too.
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments are such a cute idea!
