:: annual MATHEWS FAMILY CHRISTMAS party ::
I love this party more than most people know. It is the only time in a whole year that my Mathews family gets together. And we party! This year there was finally enough snow to play in. My sweet dad and his brothers pulled everyone behind their trucks on "homemade sleds and tubes" {car hoods, conveyor belts, etc.} We had a blast! When I say 'we' that's excluding Cohen. He's not so fond of snow. {that's my boy! when he says snow he also says YUCKY right after.}
He was sure cute in his snow gear though! Thanks to my cousin Brit for the perfect pink snow boots we borrowed.
We tubed behind my grandma's house, behind her barn out where she has acres and acres to run around.
My beautiful Mom holding my niece Naomi, Me holding Co, and Corbin in front.
We had dinner and had lots of entertainment that evening, held at Grammy's church like always. {so we can all fit}. The kids decorated bags to catch candy in from the candy shooter. Cohen was very scared of the sound of the shooter this year. It's quite powerful. We played Minute to Win It games and won AWESOME prizes. Brock one wireless headphones that you can connect to your TV, I won a DVD player, and my cousin Kristen one a HDTV flatscreen.
Cort and I got our names drawn to shake our booties against each other to see who could get 9 ping pong balls out of a tissue box tied to our waist. I WON.
Here's Kristen and my Dad trying to win the tv.
Corbin LOVED Santa. He told him he wanted Thomas the Train and some tools.
What a sweetie.
Cohen on the other hand, had "GET ME OFF OF HIS LAP" written all over him. I was surprised he sat there long enough to get a few pictures. Next year will be better I'm sure.
I LOVE THIS EVENING!
It's so great to be together as a whole family, and catch up with everyone. We ate such a yummy Christmas dinner, and I'm pretty sure my brain was floating in sugar that night. YUCK!
It's so good at the time, I just can't stop.
I LOVE MY FAMILY.
'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY!

Lis I just love your posts, they make me feel like I was right there with you! Your little guy is TOO ADORABLE! What are you going to do with him!

WOw this was just a post of good-looking people! Haha. I am SO glad Christmas break is on its way and I cannot WAIT to see you!! LOVE LOVE LOVE you and I MISS YOU!
Shelly is right.. you're posts are awesome. Teach me please. Thanks. :) What a fun party! I love Co's pink boots haha.
I CANNOT believe that Brock allowed Cohen to wear pink boots. Wow, I am blown away! haha I am guessing you had to persuade him on that one.
