A fun family Party

Saturday night was our Christmas celebration with Joe's side of the family. We went to Pat and Jim's new beautiful house in Atlanta and had a great time! Rachel always has so much fun playing with Carter, Elle, Lauren and Sophie. (Bradley had a good time playing with Lauren later when he FINALLY warmed up...about 3 hours into the gathering!) The food was delicious and there was a ton of it! The kids each got goodie bags filled with lots of neat trinkets to play with. The adults each brought a gift and played our traditional game where you draw numbers, choose a present (or steal one from someone else) that can be anything from a purse to a laptop table to a neck massager. We always have a fun time and enjoy "stealing" from each other until the item is "frozen" and can't be taken again. At the end of the night, Nick and I joined Matt, Leigh Anne, Heather, Randy, Stacy and Randy for a game of Blokus. It was really fun and I can see where I could get addicted to it if I had one!! We left really late, but the kids enjoyed looking at Christmas lights on the way home. It was a really fun evening!
