Elf Mania!!!!!!!!!

Each we have a group of "FAMILY FRIENDS" and we do the 12 days of Christmas for a family that we have thought and prayed about. We involve the kids and have a wonderful time doing it. Each of us have been blessed in many ways and the spirit of Christmas is truly felt. I adore my friends and am grateful they put up with me! I love ya guys.

Christmas Eve In Tucson

Loooooooong night at the McCown's. Yes, after dinner and our Twas the Night Before Chritmas game, this is what happens when everyone is filled up on sugar. Rich, Lisa and the kids came as well as Mark and Michelle and Mom and Dad, and of course Scott flew in for the big party. Sure love our family.
Uncle Richard is trying to teach Joshua the fine art of taking a picture.
Mark didn't have the words to explain his gift. Hmmmmmm, I wonder if there is a baby in the future! Yep, perfect for his nephew Joshua.
Dad, isn't quite sure what to think of his fun gift? Candy Canes.
Ok, so here is a nice family picture. We can look normal every now and then.

Lomeli's in Phoenix

We headed to Uncle Ron and Aunt Sara's house for a Lomeli Christmas party. Had tons to eat and played our fun game Twas the Night Before Christmas. It's a tradition we started many many years ago. Then came the family pics. I have to say that they put up with me and my picture taking. Thanks everyone, especially Jeremy...He loves his Mit Poo!
Then came the fun picture. Man, Lomeli's can sure take a great picture. I'm not sure what Great Grandma Lomeli is thinking.
Yes, Matt was very patient with all the kids! Isn't he a great Uncle. We love ya! Isn't Amanda so cute. Her big brother Cody doesn't know what to do.
Isn't Kalie so cute in her pretty dress.
Jeremy is soooo excited for the game, he can't quite contain himself. He is trying to tell Hunter how to WIN the game.

The End Of The Road..........

Soccer season has finally ended. With all the rain we have had, soccer games were rescheduled a FEW times. Playoffs went well for Brandon and Jessica. Her team won 2nd place...Yeah. Brandon has been asked to play on the Allstar team. Soo....it looks like soccer practice starts tomorrow.

Gingerbread House Showdown....

A friendly competition of who can make the best gingerbread house. For FHE we finally used the kits. Thanks to Debbie and Aunt Pat... The kids had a great time, I had to keep reminding them that the candy is pretty old. They didn't care and would still sneak them.
