Let the Christmas Parties Begin!

Tonight was the Lawlor family Christmas party: consisting of Mexican food dinner, talent show, nativity, gift exchange and dancing. It turned out to be a wonderful night. I will post videos of the Bingham family talent portions later, but here are some photos.
The grandchildren did a dance to Mele Kaliki maka and the adults did a water fountain skit. Both turned out great and everyone did so awesome. Addilyn even got up on stage and did a part of the dance. Video of both will come asap!
Haylee and Addilyn were angels in the nativity. It was so cute how Haylee kept her little arm around Addie's side the whole time. Addilyn loved being on stage.


After the nativity the girls danced and participated in the gift exchange. Haylee got a High School Musical journal complete with pen and lock. Little did Grandma Muriel know that she is obsessed with things like this and I really couldn't get her to participate in the dancing portion because she and her cousin Tatum just wanted to go and play club house with their journals and pens. Addilyn got a bear and she was tickled pink! I got a huge candy bar and Ryan got a bobble head!

Our loot!
It was fun night full of great memories! What a way to kick off the holiday season and I was so excited that I made it to the party!


A fun new way to take pictures of Addilyn. This is her new trick!
