The Woodland Family Christmas Party on December 23rd.
I drove the kids to my parent's home (Michael had to work) to celebrate with my family.
My parents normally have a Christmas party for the grandchildren sometime in December, but they were gone to Missouri and Mexico for the majority of the month. We planned to celebrate after Christmas, but then we found out my brother's family (from Missouri) was coming for a quick visit.
So, my sister planned the party, and we all chipped in to make it happen (my parents came home two days before). We did things a little differently than normal, but it was tons of fun and I think everyone had a ball.
