Christmas Parties

We had the Taylor family Christmas party on Dec. 15th. Daniel and I were in charge, so we had homemade Cafe Rio Salads, played minute to win it games and for the white elephant exchange we did favorite cereals.  It was lots of fun and luckily we didn't end up with the trophy :)

We don't have any pictures of us two anymore, we mostly take pictures of Variah or one of us with her. 

Cute Jaxton playing with the presents and his tractor

Acting out the Nativity Scene

This was so funny! Taylor was collecting the cereal from people and giving it to Debbie. (her dad Sam told her to trade her box of cereal for Debbie's. Instead Taylor kept giving them to Debbie. It was really cute)

McKinnley was a champ at the marshmallow toss

Who doesn't love the jell-o slurp? Ashley and Camille won this contest

Brayden had to show his folks how to do it right 

                        Daniel competed by himself since I was taking pictures-he came in second!

And the winner is....the Norman Taylor family. So really, everyone won :)

  

After the family Christmas party, we headed back to Riverton for our ward Christmas party.  We had a yummy dinner and Variah even sat on Santa's lap. She didn't cry at all. We'll see how it goes next year.

And in case you wonder who Variah looks like, I got these from my mom at Annie's shower.  I am 2 months and 4 months in these shots:
