Let the Parties begin!!!

So the time of year has arrived where we gather together as families, dress our children up, recreate the Nativity, eat mexican food, do a talent show and have some dancing, Santa visits, etcs.
The Lawlor family (Ryans mother's side) was the first to host. The party was on Monday night, the 3rd. Haylee was an Angel, and Addilyn was going to be, but I was asked to sing Mary's Lullaby, so Ryan didn't want to have to worry about Addilyn doing a "trick" off the stage. The Natvitiy went great and after the nativity, Haylee and her cousins performed their talent. They did a little dance/lip sync to the High School Musical song. Complete with choreography!!! It was so cute. After the talents, we did a large family gift exchange. Haylee recieved a Pink harmonica in a pink bag. (Thanks Grandma Muriel!). Then it was on to the dancing and clean up. It was a fun party. What a great way to start the season off with a bang!

Sure wish I could have been there. Looks like it was a lot of fun. Are they still calling it a family party or reunion? You guys have such a beautiful family!

Man... what a fun month you had! I love the Ollie pics! Jen is seriously amazing! I love the aprons. They are so cute! I miss the Cox parties so much! I have such great memories from those Cox parties. Also, it made me laugh that in the middle of the month you just decided to head to Disneyland! :) Only you could pull that one off! Anyone else would have to do all sorts of planning and all that! Hopefully life has settled down a bit!
