Christmas Gatherings

Gathering #1 was with my favorite gals from the neighborhood!

Good food, girls only, relaxing, lots of laughing, and the $10 gift exchange makes this one of my favorite parties of the year!

If you could only hear Rachelle's laugh. I will record it one day. It's contagious.

Gathering #2- lunch with old friends in town.

Gathering #3- party at my house with my highschool girlfriends and their families.

I made Cafe Rio burritos, then we opened presents with oven mits, did a gift exchange, and stayed up way too late... 4 a.m to be exact. Time flies when you are having fun.



Look at all the kids and our group is only growing.

tired.

I could keep little Bentley all to myself.

The BEST news of the week is this little guy TY is a perfect match for his sister Emma!! We are so excited. Now we are praying for a successful transplant.

party, party, party! Thanks for letting us party at your place. Dinner was delish and the company was even better... especially at 4 am. And I am SO sorry about the carpet. ugh.

Happy Holidays, Kesslers!
