Tis' the season...

Tis’ the season for Christmas parties. Five parties/get togethers in one week! Oh my!!! Last Saturday the 13th we had our annual Ferrin (my Mom’s side of the family) Christmas party. On Monday the 15th was the annual Roberts Mexican dinner and talent night. On Tuesday the 16th we went over to my Uncle Larry’s and Aunt Diana’s house for yummy Chimichangas. On Friday the 19th we went over to my sister’s house for Dallin’s Joy School (Preschool) Christmas program. Saturday morning the 20th was our Church Christmas breakfast, and Saturday night was the annual Phelps Caroling party at my parents house. Whew!! It was a busy but fun week! We didn’t get pictures from every event but here are some pictures from a few of the get-togethers.


Every Christmas, Stan's family gets together for a yummy Mexican Food Dinner. After dinner, we enjoy a family talent night.


The Roberts gather in Grandma and Grandpa's living room for the "Roberts Talent Night"
Dallin sings "I am a Child of God" for his Talent

Parker played (plucked) Jingle Bells on the violin for his talent

Cassie played a fun version of "Deck the Halls" on her violin

Every Christmas my family gets together for pizza, caroling, cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate, and a gift exchange. We were so lucky to have 54 out of 55 of us present that night. Sorry you were sick Wendy :( Ya, it gets a little crazy at times when we're all together in one house like that, but we love it! And yes, I do know everyone's name. :)
Here's Papa (my Dad) with 3 cute little elfs-Braden, Lyneah, and Addy

Cassie loves being with her cousins Amber and Haley

The best part of the night-Grammy's famous homeade cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate!

Some of the grandkids gather around Papa (who is the best piano player in the world!) to sing Christmas Carols before the gift exchange.


Fun times! I hate to think that the Christmas Season will be over in only a few days! I love Christmas!!
