Every Saturday before Christmas my

Grandma and Grandpa Hunsaker have their

Christmas party. This year we started off at their house

playing games, and visiting with Santa.

No matter how big you are,

you're not too big for Santa's lap.

I don't think Griffen knows

what to think about the big guy.

Before the party Blake said he would be

able to tell if this was the real Santa or not.

I asked him how he would know, and he told me the real

Santa has a red nose. Looks like the real Santa to me.


After the festivities at their house,

they take everyone to Maddox to eat.

This is my Auntie Sandra and Uncle Rick.

Casey and Brittni.


Blake was determined to eat ALL of this.

My dad, mom, Blake, Amber,

Chantell, Dustin, Grandma Babe, Sandra, Rick,

Jordon, Griffen, Ben and Ashley.

This is us with my Grandparents.

They're the best!

Gingerbread Houses!

Ben and Blake getting started on their house.

It was impossible to get a picture of Dylan when he wasn't texting.

Ashley and Derelict. Blake and Ben

They take this very seriously.

Griffen, Gordon, and Godi.

The finished products.




No get together would be complete without a Blake tourturing session.

And Jordon rearanging the decor.

It was a fun little get together.

We also celebrated Brittni's birthday.

Decorating the Trees

Every year I take the boys to Hallmark,

and they get to pick an ornament of their choice.

(we haven't got to that yet this year,

but it was past time to get the trees up!)

I have to have all control or none, so I choose none

for this particular Christmas event. They have so much

fun going through the boxes of ornaments, seeing what they have

picked out in the past. They do a pretty good job.

And it's fun to just sit back and watch.

This is an ornament Ben made

when he was little and it has

his picture on it. It always

cracks them up!

Blake likes using the zoom when he takes pictures.

These are a couple pics from my 29th birthday.

The one on top is the cake my sister made me and the

one on the bottom is Blake and I at breakfast.

Griff would have been there, but he was

in SLC staying with a friend.
