Janne Family Christmas Party

Here are a gazillion snapshots of our christmas party this year for my side of the family, we had a great time, we'd had our family portrait taken that morning so we were all ready to don the sweats and relax and enjoy some fun!  Alissa and Alan arrived so I put her to work making the punch...

 Here is Cailyn, our only little princess!

 Alissa and Jamie...

 Amy and niece Jen

 Here's my Mom arriving with her cake with santa atop!

 Jeremy came via skype...

 The kids table at dinner time...of course it's a bit chaotic but I hope they'll have fun memories of getting to sit together with their cousins!

 Opening presents...isn't it always a bit chaotic but it wouldn't be Christmas without that. My folks gave all the great grands these cute bags, their names embroidered on the front, so cute!  They did their first on line purchase, wow, pretty good to get that figured out!

 Lots of fun amid the craziness!  That's what it's all about isn't it, good memories!

 Chris and Chris....

 A bit of a break back in the bedroom for these 2 cousins, so cute together.
We had 3 highchairs, a rotation going in the crib and the pack n play... who needs a nap next?

 And of course desserts.....

 Amy with Noah and Chris and Papa all enjoying this little one...

 Time for everyone, even the youngest to enjoy each other....that's what it's all about!
