Family and Christmas

Family Christmas party: because Christmas was with the married in-laws this year, we had the Gray family Christmas party on the 29th of December. 

We did white elephant gifts and a talent show. My white elephant gift had a bunch of candy and a pineapple stress ball, silly string, and lots of other cool stuff. It was my turn to decide how to exchange. 

(Talent Show) We were welcome to stand up and cheer and just have a good time. I played the Lava song on the Ukele for my talent in the talent show. Allie has it recorded. Everyone had really fun talents and they were very creative.

Now that word can get out, Ashley and Hayden are expecting a baby and I think they are going to make great parents.  From what I can see, their lives are really in order, they have enough saved up for a car payment, baby expenses, house, etc.  I think this experience will only make them grow together.  I wonder if I will be able to meet baby Hawks before they do?

Friendsmas:  A few days after Christmas, Steph Faussett organized a get together with friends with dinner, a white elephant, and tons and tons of ncmos (haha just seeing if you are all listening and still awake).  I got a mixer from Jessica Dickison.  When I was driving home I almost got hit.  Shout-out to Dad for his teaching me to drive in the snow. 


Friends-mas
Thankful for friends who always make any night, especially NYE, a good time. I've been blessed with so many wonderful people I call my best friends- and not just those pictured.
