The Jolley Christmas Party was a huge success this year. Almost everyone was able to be there except for the kids sick cousin Kort and his dad Mark. We were sad they couldn't be there. My parents poor house can barely fit all of us now. There had to be close to 50 people and we were jammed in there. It's a great way to make everyone mingle and get to know each other.
This year Ridge and Brenner were spotlighted. We spotlight a different grandkid each year to just learn a little more about them. It's been a very fun tradition. They both play the guitar so they played for us. Brenner's a definite rocker and Ridge more on the country side. They are such great kids. All the little kids had a great time dancing and wrestling to the music.
As always Santa made his appearance. The kids get so excited for him to show up. He brings them each a treat and they get to tell them what they want. We've done this instead of the mall Santa the last couple of years. Tanner asked Santa for a Trio Castle Set.
Cole asked for a choo choo train and table. Kaya asked for an artist easel.
My mom is so good to get all the grandkids and great-grandkids jammies each year. She's got to be buying over 20 pairs now. I don't know how she does it. We love it though and hope she keeps it up. The kids also draw names between each other and exchange gifts. It's always such a fun time to get together because it's about the only time we get everyone there now that we are so big.
