this year’s crew potluck christmas party was hosted by robbie and jenny! our contribution this year was ham (by mel) and mini cupcakes (by moi). on the agenda, kids secret santa and then a white elephant gift exchange. as usual, we grubbed as soon as we got there and immediately got into “comfort food” mode since it was hecka freezing outside! the guys did their best to warm up via grey goose..hahaha!

i guess this was the guys’ turn to get f—– up…hahaha…the funniest part was they were taking shots from spongebob squarepants mini cups…HAHAHA that pretty much set the mood for the whole night and carried over into A LOT of laughing during the white elephant gift exchange! lots of stealing went on as well as neil throwing out the famous “cousin art” comment pertaining to a cuisinart hand blender that chester eventually lost to edwin…awww, sorry chet!

christmas eve was spent at my parents house along with a lot of my relatives! we opted to do a secret santa with all the oldies…too funny! it was a very loud secret santa gift exchange and an even louder white elephant gift exchange! they all had a great time and cannot wait to do it again next year! the kids all had one thing in mind - BAKUGAN! that was the gift of the year for these kiddos!

christmas day was spent at my in laws house. tobey had a great time with all his cousins! it was all about the kids as santa and their grandparents were very good to them this year!
