Friday morning early I went shopping (for the Black Friday sales) and got lots of good stuff and then we went to Adam's house again to watch Ben's brothers football game (A&M). It was so good, they won their rivals (Texas) and it was the last home game and since Mike is a senior, his VREY last home game, but they should go to a decent bowl game and that will be good.
So, we didn't get to the Anderton party til 6:30ish. We had EVERYONE there from my family, even the CO brothers and their families. And G'ma and pa McDonald and G'ma Anderton was there.
Kristie and Katie from WA came, and here is my Dad and his Mom.
Samantha loves phones, here is my Mom and her Mom!
G'ma with the little girls, Mantha videoing. :)
G'pa Mac and Jeff, Nat and G'ma Mac.
Jessie, April, Elisa......LOTS of cousins.
Mantha and Abe.
Ava, Brooke, and Abi sang primary songs for us, SOO cute.
Porter and Mi-Mi.
Brooke and Jen, G'ma Mac and G'ma Anderton-great friends (their husbands flew United together after WWII, and their families have been great friends ever since....so my Mom and Dad grew up together.)
So, my Mom has kept all our homemade ornaments from grade school and decorates her tree with them every year (it usually looks pretty bad). So, this year Jen had a great idea for her Christmas present. Each sibling (well, all the girls) got 20 color coordinated ornaments to decorate my Mom's tree. Then Friday night after everyone went to bed, we decorated her tree, then we woke her back up because we were so excited to show her and couldn't wait til morning. It was funny cause my Mom wanted to stay up and play games with us all night and we kept trying to get her to go to bed, we finally had to each pretend we were going to bed, then when she really thought we were asleep she went up to bed. So these pictures are at like 3am. Remember, we all woke up at 4am that morning to go shopping, so we were on very little sleep anyway! Here is the finished product, pretty good huh?
