Christmas here and gone!

This Christmas season just flew by. So I am a few weeks behind on my blogging. We ended up hosting 5 Christmas parties this season for Friends and Family, a total of 178 people were here to celebrate. Our favorite party every year is the "Haupt Family" Party. Even though we were small in numbers since a few people have moved away, we had a fun time.

Here is Tony plotting on how he can keep "Land of the Lost" DVD in the White Elephant game. Things always get a little crazy, which is why we love it! He did get his DVD in the end, and I got my Christmas bobble pig. Can't wait to see what great gift I walk away with next year

Another favorite game at the Haupt Family Christmas party is the "Candy Bar" game. This is always crazy and because we have played so many years we have added our own twist to the game by having 2-3 pairs of dice going at the same time, so it is hard to keep up with who has the candy bar that you really want. Courtney is plotting with Angelica on who has her "TOBLERONE"...I can't remember if she ended up with it, I think that Adair walked away with most of the candy because he can remember everything. It was great fun!

We ended the night with our special visitor. Tyson shows Santa that he wants his two front teeth for Christmas!

Tony lets Santa know that he was a very good boy this year!

Cry Baby Steve, still afraid of Santa!

Christmas morning Casey and Tinke came over to open presents and have breakfast.

The girls loved the gifts they gave each other this year.

And they loved their new headbands, scarf's and purses!

Steve was happy to get a Utah sweat shirt, so now he can go to a game with Mike! We had a wonderful Christmas, and our best gift came at 8 PM Christmas night when Cameron got to SKYPE us and talk to all of us at the same time. It was great to hear from him and know he is doing so well in the Philippines. We hope all of you had a fabulous Christmas too!
