Abenaki Christmas Party

My kids have been looking forward to this party for weeks...definitely their favorite Christmas tradition. Of course it was not the same without the Martin clan this year. But we did get to sit at one big table which was nice. The food was so yummy and everyone looked so cute. Ally loved her new dress..excellent twirlability:



A shot of these three together...hard to come by:

We were so glad Damon could join us:

But I think he is getting a little old for the Santa part...he was a little embarrassed I think.

And Al showed off his new haircut:



And I even got in a shot!

Nana and Papa:

Kelly and Scott:

and Grampa telling a story:



And the annual group shots before the "special guest" arrived:

The "special guest" arrived:

Ally only liked him from a safe distance:

She did enjoy getting a gift from him though...she didn't really even care what it was...it had a handle and that was enough for her...those people at Fisher Price are packaging geniuses!

And one last group shot with Grampa and all their goodies:

Everyone was so happy with their gifts!

And I almost forgot the girl shot:

We had such a great time and are now totally in the Christmas spirit!
