We always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have- and not worrying about what we don't have.

Family Christmas Party!

The Saturday before Christmas my family gets together for our annual Christmas Party. In years past my dad would make a big breakfast for everyone, but this year he wanted to make things easier so he ordered pizza's from Costco! They were so yummy and it was ALOT easier. The night before my parents had a party with my mom's siblings and so they had lots of food left over from that so we had lots of yummy foods to eat! It was just fun getting together and seeing each other for the holidays! All the kids had fun playing with their cousins and spending time with each other. We always have lots of laughs! :) It's always a good time.
My mom wanted to do something fun and special for all of us this year. She planned out a big Polar Express party. She pulled out the projector and we watched the Polar Express on the wall downstairs so it was like going to the movie theater. Since she was watching a movie she wanted everyone to come to the party in their Jammie's. We call came in our Jammie's and we went downstairs to watch the movie. She also bought all of us the Polar Express book and gave each of us a bell. It was really fun and it was really special.
Since we were all together they decided to do the Christmas gifts for everyone so we could all see what each other got. It was lots of fun opening gifts with each other and seeing the child in everyone come out.
Josh was showing off his ears! He took some of the bells that we were given and he put them on his ears! He thought that was so funny - he had bell earrings for alot of the night! :)

Josh's earring's kept falling off so he was constantly working at keeping them on his ears. Matthew was always right beside him to help him out.

Cute little Sadie was going around giving us all loves to say thanks!! She gives the biggest hugs ever and I just love them!

The Brisk clan just hanging out while the gifts were being opened. Everyone was just relaxing and it was so nice!

All the kids opening and playing with their gifts from the grandparents.

Just hanging out some more!



Mom was so excited for some gag gifts - so we spent quite a bit of time opening her corny gag gifts! Everyone was watching mom for her reaction as she was more fun to watch than the gag gifts. It was pretty funny because Matthew opened up one of the gag gifts and he looks at mom and say's, "Grandma, that is NOT funny." He had this really serious look on is face and he gave the gift back to her. I think that was the funniest things of the night.
Matthew was pretty excited about his gifts so he had to take them over to show Tye.


While all the kids were playing - Sam found some fun things to play with too. He was finding everything and anything left on the floor for him to play with. It looks like he found one of the boy's toy cars. Luckily none of the boys saw him playing with it or they would have freaked out. :)

My parents got all the little babies new Jammie's - I think everyone loves getting new Jammie's! Angie was pulling out Taytum's Jammie's while Taytum found better and new things to play with.

Most of the kids sitting down getting ready for the movie to begin. They are all so cute! They were having lots of fun together. They all enjoy spending time with one another. Its fun to have cousins to play with. :)


Trent, Marci and Sadie all ready for the movie to begin. Sadie looks so warm and comfy in her Jammie's and blanket.

Here we all are upstairs eating and waiting for those who had not yet eaten to eat. We were just all hanging out visiting with each other. It was fun to catch up with everyone, it seems like it has been a little while since we have seen each other.








It was a fun Christmas party! We all got cool gifts from my parents and we are all excited for Christmas to come. We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!!!
