Christmas Party

This years Christmas party for Shawn's work was held at Ed & Barbara Garner's home. The Garner's home was the house Shawn worked on for 12 months or so this last year. We had the kids that weekend so instead of finding a babysitter we brought them along, but only after numerous reminders on how to act. I only say this because the Garner's house is not necessarily child proof, if the kids decided to wrestle, fight, or have too much fun. There are a lot of expensive items that can be broken & us not able to afford to replace. The reminders worked for the most part. It was fun to see Clayton socialize and feel like one of the guys. One of Shawn's co-workers brought his little girl and her and Mekenna had fun being girls. I ate way too much and Shawn was the typical social bug (I love this about him) . We all had a great time and by the end of the evening Mekenna decided to sit on Barbara's lap and was exhausted enough to fall asleep, which is not typical of Mekenna she is usually a die hard when it comes to going to sleep.

These next pictures are of Barbara's Christmas tree and close-ups of the ornaments on the tree. These ornaments are amazing. They are glass blown dipped in sterling silver and then hand painted. Barbara has thousands of these interesting & beautiful ornaments. Plus she has numerous ceramic villages set-up through out her house. It is so fun to see all the different Christmas decorations she has.
