Christmas Parties 2008

As I alluded to in my Christmas 2008 post, here is the official Christmas party entry.  The first party that we made it to was on Christmas eve at Dave and Susie Knudsen’s house.  Long time family friends / neighbors and also the parents of my sisters brother-in-law.  (Not to mention that they’re also the in-laws of Niki’s former room mate…)

As you can see they have a beautiful house; although what you can’t see is their amazingly gracious hospitality.  We had a wonderful time with literally all you can eat king crab legs.  Yeah, it was wonderful.  Susie bought all the kids new Christmas pajamas witch they loved and we had a great time of fellowship.

There was no shortage of pictures being taken with five sets of grandparents in the room!

I’m not sure who’s kid that is but she is always trying to get in the limelight…

Party #2
The second party we went to was at my parents house on Christmas Day.  Grandma Tami cooked an amazing dinner including a delicious prime rib and some scrumptious twice baked potatoes.   It was a really fun night of family, friends, food, and pool.  Looking at my pictures you should be able to tell where I spent most of my time…

This photo was supposed to have Niki’s grandparents with all four of us shenanigans in it but I think Nya is already sick of my new camera.  It goes something like this:
Me, in my most excited smiley face possible: “Nya, we’re going to take a picture!”
Nya: “No!”
Did I mention that she’s two now…

I just thought this was a cool shot.
