christmas festivities

here are some of the highlights of a few of the parties and gatherings this christmas.

 our small group christmas party, complete with a few Ugly Christmas Sweatshirts, a wii and a projector. the 3 kiddos were in bed already. we're going to just have to see how things change when the 3 babes that are still in the bellies make their appearances in early 2010.

here's a little christmas elf that entertained us at my family's christmas gathering.
what a cutie!

 then my girlfriends from high school got together for a little pizza party. two are newlyweds, three brought their babies and three are preggo! another friend missed the party as she was at home with her newborn. wow.... lots has changed in 10 years.

dancing to a little christmas jazz. woah... check out the belly.... (you may need to click on the picture to see it better)

after the christmas eve service, we had a quiet little family time, just the... 3.... of us, involving an impromptu fondue and garlic parmesan breadsticks. we still have one more gathering coming up in january which i am PUMPED about!
