Party #3 for the weekend!

Ya, that's how we do it.... party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiime! (Another song from the 80's).

Yesterday we had the 2 parties (scroll to last blog entry for the details), one for Jeromy's mom's side of the family, and then my high school friend Teresa's son's birthday..... so today, what was the celebration? Well, it was Jeromy's dad and step-mom's side of the family Christmas party!

But first a few pictures from last night and early this morning!

After all our "partying" last night, the girls got in their PJ's and played a game in Aurora's room.

Jeromy and I also got up this morning and did our work out- 2 days in a row! We gotta fight all this food we're eating some how! So anyway, while exercising, we noticed the SNOW!!! It was beautiful!!

So we had church this morning. Before we went, we were making ANOTHER meat and cheese tray for today's party this afternoon! Here's the beautiful Jade holding tray #2... it is slightly different than yesterdays tray...

And Aurora's class at church was having a party, and every child was supposed to bring something, and guess what she brought? You guessed it, a mini- meat and cheese tray! Here's the beautiful Aurora holding her tray...

After church, we headed over to Lacey, WA!

We got alot of family group shots! So I know many of you will never meet these people, but I'm going to introduce you anyway! They are great people! First, of course, is our group... Kenton, Katie, Aurora, Jeromy & Jade...

One of just our kids...Then Jeromy's middle brother Bill, his wife Kat, and their FOUR kids! From left to right there's Cameron age 4, the twins Jacob and Katie-Lynn almost 2 years, and Haley 5 months.

Here's Jeromy and his 2 brothers, in the middle is the youngest Adam, and then the Bill on the right....Then Jeromy's dad Chuck and step-mom Joanne...While Jeromy and his brothers were little, Chuck and Joann did foster care, and also ran a group home for teenage girls. And 2 of their foster daughters were there. Here's Patsy, husband Redd, and 3 kids Rosie, Oscar & Johnna...His other foster sister Shelly and her 2 kids....Then we have Joann, and her 2 sisters Diane and Sharon. The dinner was at Diane's beautiful house!I think that's it for the group shots, the rest are just some cool misc. pictures. Are you ready for some more cuteness? Here goes... Here's Jeromy with one of the twins Jacob...

Here's Haley being adorable...

Jade got to wear the special Santa hat and handed out all the presents. She even got a few herself...

Aurora got this cool jewelry box... she is such a pretty girl...

Here's Katie-Lynn playing with her baby stroller and baby, she's just a baby herself, it's so cute...

Here's Jade Lorraine and Haley Jade....

Aurora got some really fancy barbie dresses, here she's trying one on her new barbie...

A cute one of Aurora and Johnna... they're buds..

After the kids did their thing, the adults had a gift exchange. Here's Jeromy's dad trying on the gift he won, a chef hat, apron, mit, it was pretty funny...

But the funniest thing was getting Jeromy on video with Diane's dog. I love that man!

Anyway, that's our wild and crazy weekend, and we are SPENT!!

Stay warm tonight!
