Doin' the family thing

This weekend was full of lots of family fun!

We had the Peterson (my dad's side) Christmas party on Saturday at my cousin Kristin's house, where there were about 30 people for a delicious brunch.

The highlight of the afternoon?!

Santa!

Yep, for the second year in a row, Santa came to our party!

The kids were SOOO excited!

Afterall, he is the real Santa, you know...

atleast that's what Abbie told me. :)

Then today, we spent the afternoon at Cheri and Jay's house for

the Wagner family party!

As always, it was good time.

Our family is increasing in size by leaps and bounds...

there were almost 60 people there today!

And that's not even everybody.

Surprisingly, though, it wasn't that crowded.

It probably helped that the guys were in the garage for a good

part of the time, and of course the big kids couldn't stay inside either!

Here are some photos from today...enjoy!

Our little family :)

Abbie had a pretty dress on when I got there,

but had to change so we could be twinsies.

I ♥ this girl. :)

Holly and Cheri both looking festive and beautiful!

Taylor and Molly

Molly lovin' on her sister, Amanda...who's not looking excited about it. Ha!

I think this is all of the great grandkids...16 of them!

Notice all the baby girls? :)

Did we really get two cute family photos in one day?! Sweet! :)

And a collage with the rest of my favorite photos from today.

All in all...

a fabulous weekend with family!

And, more to come!
