Early Christmas...Modern Family Style

If you watch Modern Family you will think my title is funny...if you don't than move on with the post! ha ha

Since my brother is in residency he gets little to no time off! So that meant we had to take the week off he got and celebrate Christmas early! We tried to fit in some of our Christmas traditions and had a blast with our big, loud, crazy family! 

First up: Annual Family Ski Day! Since people still had busy schedules with work and school we did two different ski days. It was so fun to spend the day on the mountain with a smaller group and just relax!

Next up: Christmas Dinner/Chris' Birthday Party!
My mom held a dinner at her house and like always it was delicous and we ate a lot of food. Allen's know how to eat. The dinner was followed by a birthday celebration for my nephew Chris who turned 7! He wanted to have a dance party and boy did we dance. Imgaine all 17 grandchildren and all adults going crazy. Lights out, strobe light going, music blasting. I would have to say it was probably the higlight of my year. Hank has some video on his phone I have to upload. Imgaine Blakely doing a pony step for a straight hour. EPIC!

 I love my sisters!

No we are not greek, but apparently we like to carry the birthday boy in a chair! ha ha

Ski Day Take 2! The rest of the crew headed up Saturday for another round of ski day. I sat this one out with Blakely but Hank got in on this action and they had a great day.

 Seriously cannot stop laughing over this picture and how my sister Bekah looks like she is 10yrs old next to her son who is only 14 years old!



We had such a fun week and I am so excited that we basically get to do it all over again this next week as we celebrate real Christmas...Judd, Jackie, Christopher, Tyler, and Caroline you will be missed!!!!
