Party, Party, Party!

Tis the season for Christmas parties, it's been awhile since the whole Hughes clan got together so a party was organised, I mean 90% of the family still live in town there shouldn't be any reason why we couldn't get together atleast once a year. We had a wonderful dinner and dessert, and played the white elephant gift game. Santa showed up and the children were very excited, except the kids between the ages of 1-2 years old, they all started screaming when the parents brought them close, the torture we put our kids through just for a picture. It was a wonderful evening. Then we had the opportunity to host one at our house. We had a big group, 26 adults and 28 children, it was loud but a lot of fun. Everyone brought an appetizer to eat which made it very simple, and we played the white elephant game. Someone brought a fish as their present, I got it, and was very close to keep it but it got taken, cassidy wants some kind of animal at the house, and a fish would have been a good thing for now. Just like the last party we got Santa to come again, it was a hit, what was fun about it, we didn't tell anybody that Santa was coming so it was a surprise for everyone. It turned out to be a ton of fun, I hope everybody thought the same thing. Merry Christmas all who reads this!!!!
