Curtis Family Christmas Party

Yesterday we had the Curtis family "Christmas" party. Often we have had the party on sunday, nearer Christmas, and in the evening. We tried a breakfast, and played more games than in the past. My kids said it went well. I hope so! A great big thanks goes out to Tyler, Jordan and Lacey, and Ashley and Bradley for the games, and for all those who helped with the cooking (Jordan and Jeff - with the pancakes) and all of the families with their assigned food.




On of the hits was the donut eating contest. The hitch was that the donut was on a string and you had to eat the donut with you hands behind your back. That's a cute trio.

It looks to me like Curtis was cheating a little on this one. Wait - is that Gavin in the back eating a donut with his hands also? Jeff, Austin and Dallin are really into the competition.

Cameron is trying to eat the donut while still on the string - Kyrsten and Kaili are eating it the old fashion way - get it to the floor and dive in!

Bruce's family looking happy here!

Look whose is competive here (Jennie)!

Oh my, even the old folks dove in.

Julie and Kaitlyn enjoyed a quite moment together.

Trisha, Miriam and Kolbie.

Gavin was one of the first to take a whack at the pinata.

Which eventually culminated in the children diving for lots of candy.

The Christmas party would not be complete without the Christmas story. Mary and Joseph seem to be getting younger every year. Look Joseph brought his bag of treats.

The full cast. It looks like we initiated Dustin into the family.
