Pretty much every year my family has a Christmas party after Christmas. It always lasts all day and its probably one of our funnest parties of the year that we all look forward to.
This year Matt & I hosted it.
I will never take advantage of those hosting the party, again! I realized just how much work goes into
a) making dinner for 40 people
b) planning our activities
c) getting set up/ cleaning up
d) making sure everyone has fun.
The hard work was totally worth it though and I had a lot of fun, too!
So here are a few pictures of our party!

This year we did a kids gift exchange and the adults and bigger kids did a homemade CD exchange. It was fun and I think everyone was really excited about their new CD!
We also watched our favorite YouTube videos which was very entertaining, and ate A LOT.
It was the perfect way to end a wonderful Christmas break. Now we are back to our normal routine.
This was a fabulous Christmas I'll always remember!
