Spending time with family at Christmas

Today was my families Bad Santa Party

It was really nice as 20 of us came to the party and we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. We first started the party off with our favorite thing, FOOD. I didn't think to take pictures of the spread, I guess I was busy capturing memories of my family being together. Thankfully I had a little cash on me, because I totally spaced my great nephews birthday is in December too as in his birthday is today, so I slid him a $20 to get himself something he wants, he is 5 and that may have been a bit much to hand a 5 year old, but I didn't have anything else on me, and I would have spent that on a birthday gift for him if I wouldn't have spaced it.

After we had some food we started the Bad Santa Game.

We had a load of fun. I even got some photos that are just too funny not to share. This first photo is my brother this was right after our 80+ year old aunt opened her gift of a pregnancy test. It was really funny her reaction, but his reaction was even funnier.

Then I have my oldest sister. She thought I was playing about taking her photo and I got this awesome shot of her, where she looks possessed. After I took it I showed everyone it, and I am gonna make a meme out of both the photo of my siblings.

My dad and his sister are close

I love both of these people in the next photo with all my heart and then some. They both are really good people. My papa bear is the kind of man I hope my son turns out to be. Loving, caring who puts family first above all else. That is my dad. My Sweet sweet Aunt is wonderful. She knows every living member of our families birthdays. She doesn't forget them either and if she has a contact number for you, she calls you to sing you Happy Birthday on the phone and any time you go and visit her she is shoving sodas at you. I adore her very much.

Bad Santa gifts I received

I received toilet paper with chocolate smeared on it to look like crap with a plunger with chocolate smeared all over it too. I got a broncos cup and stole ear buds and gave the cup to someone else, then that was stolen from me that is how I got the plunger and toilet paper. Then I got this lovely gem of a tooth brush.

The greatest gift we received this year is my nephew coming home safe from being deployed.

Everyone loved seeing him and we can't wait for his commitment to be up. We miss him very much being stationed in Texas and worry when they have him deployed. He just recently got back from an overseas deployment.

My mom's favorite part was her newest great granddaughter

My mom loves the babies in the family and makes no bones about it, the smaller the better. She loves them best before they start moving around on their own. Though she loves them in all stages. But when the little ones are around you better believe she is gonna have that baby 90% of the time that baby is in her house. Today was no different. I made a gif image of her with my great niece.

I love my family

I love spending time with my family we don't get together enough with our busy lives. But a few times a year. But I love spending time with my nieces and nephews that come. This is my brother's (that is shown in the first photo) oldest son. He is a trip. loves he camera and loves to be silly with it. I want to get together with him soon and do a real photo shoot with him with some if it comedy type of shoot. He posed for these photos for me to make this gif file.

We had our very own live version of Elf on a Shelf

Thankfully our Elf on a Shelf is a sweet beautiful thing, because those little dolls kind of creep me out. But this Elf was fun to spend the day with and not creepy at all.

Not 100% sure but I believe this is their first family photo with my nephew and all his children and his fiance today.

I could be wrong, but I am 99% sure this is their first family photo. I wish it wasn't cold out today this would have been a lot better with a nature background.

We had fun but missed all those who couldn't come

I wish my two siblings that couldn't come would have came. I also would have loved to have seen more of my nieces and nephews come. But I am thankful for the ones I did get to see. Plus my Aunt was able to come and a cousin too. We had lots of fun today.

It was very very funny. I hope you liked your gift, sorry it wasn't anything better. I also forgot to give you something else I have for you. I had it with me too, ugh... I have one of those STEEM magnets for you. Oh and the pregnancy test was one of my bad gifts lol

awesome and of course i love turtles lol

I loved all the pictures of your big family reunion. It's so nice to have your family around during this period. Tomorrow all my children (3) will be visiting us, their partners and their children (also 3). Even my ex-husband, the father of our children, will join us, so it really will be Christmas.
I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and I hope also for a Happy New Year. When are you moving into your lovely new house? I hope it will be soon.

Still have no clue when we will be moving. All we know at this point as soon as we can get electric.

Who's bad?!?

(whoever brought that toothbrush is!)

I don't know who brought it, but they brought 2 my daughter got one of them. LOL

A very family Christmas looks like you all enjoyed yourself. Happy days :)
