Joneses Thanksmas

In the middle of December we were able to get together with the Jones family for our Family service project. We had it at our house this year and it was great fun to be able to host for once! Plus, a lot of stress! Our house isn't exactly huge or big and so it made for lots of noise and close contact with lots of people! But we still had fun none the less! We defiantly missed Lynette's husband Alan, the Johanson's and Dale for half the day!

To start the day we did our service project. We did a secret Santa for a family here in our town. So, we loaded up in the cars and headed out to the stores! After our shopping spree we went up to our church to have lunch, play games and wrap presents.

After the church we headed back to our house to do the cousin gift exchange. It was great fun to see the kids get so excited about everything. We even got to skype with the Johanson's in Hawaii and see all of their surprised and excited faces!

After gifts the kids and the dad's went out and delivered the presents doorbell ditching style. Katy, Mel and I went to a salon to get Katy's hair cut. Which by the way she looked extermely cute after! ( And before) We had dinner and everyone left minus Kevin's parents who were staying one night longer. It was a great busy day and enjoyed having fun with Kevin's family! Thanks to everyone for coming and making it special and to everyone who was there over skype! We love you all!
