2012 Friend's Christmas

Each year, we get together with our friends and all the kiddos for a little get together and gift exchange. It's such a special time and we love being with our bestest of friends during the holidays. This year, The Cortes family hosted our fun in their beautiful home! The Grammers, The Grants, The Judds, The Owens, The Abellis, Alex & Karly's parents along with us, had a great night together. Of course, the kiddos look forward to the gift exchange. With our ever growing group of kids, we decided to draw names this year. It was a little less chaotic and the kids really enjoyed their gifts.

We all brought a few dishes to share with everyone. Karly and Faith made some DELISH cookies! And aren't they just precious! Too good looking to even eat!

Our two newest additions to the clan! Tanner was born in May and Ethan in February. Such cute boys!

A couple of the girls... Leah and Kendall... didn't mind posing for me :)

You know me, I LOVE traditions! And this is yet another tradition I look forward to each Christmas. Celebrating such a joyous season with such great friends is what it's about. And the kids... the kids are such a blessing! They play together, look out for each other and always enjoy time together. I can't wait for next year when we add Miss Sydney (Abelli) and the little Judd... whom shall be here any day (we are all looking forward to finding out if it's a boy or a girl!). I hope we continue to get together every year and watch the children grow and celebrate!
