It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas....

....not because there's snow, cause there isn't! But because we're having Christmas celebrations upon Christmas celebrations! And of course there are Christmas deco's all over San Juan. Check out Alan and Beth's blog for some GREAT pictures of our town! (abcdmcmanus.blogspot.com)

I got in on two team Christmas parties this week!! I joined Alan and Beth's team on Sunday (mainly because I live in the same house and I gotta eat too - ha!) and today I joined my team (Young at Heart Team) for dinner, fun, singing and a white elephant exchange. Both parties were fun and at both parties I ended up two very non-useful gifts in the exchange, except that in the first party my gift included a Snickers Bar - that made it totally worth it! Here are a few pictures of the fun!



Tara and Ben Smith




Go Kathryn and Bethany!


The kids frosted and decorated sugar cookies. Since this team consists of a BUNCH of kids, all 11 and under, it's a zoo! But a fun one! Cameron is the oldest and sometimes feels a little left out, since he's so much older than the other kids. We included him in the adult white elephant exchange and he had a super time! He got a great gift too - just cause it happened to be the one he brought!! A can of sugar cookies and some chocolate peppermit sticks!



Dayton had a ball, but he didn't eat his cookie! He thought it had to be baked AFTER decorating it! So, by the time it set around awhile, he didn't want it!


Lots of great food and the pies were outstanding! Pumpkin, apple, pecan and blueberry cheesecake!
