Family Christmas Party!

The Barnes Family Annual Christmas Party was held Tuesday, December 18. It was a blast as usual. We started off with a nice dinner, a nativity scene, Santa came to visit, then we had a white elephant gift exchange, sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and then we were up all night playing games. Congrats to Cody and I for being the ROOK champs! and I finally won at RISK! (My Uncle Denny has been the Christmas Party Risk Champ for like the last 4 years running.) We usually have the party on a weekend, but my Uncle Denny always gets us TrendWest condos and they were already sold out this year, so we had to go with a weekday night. So not as much family came out as usually do- we missed you all, especially Kimmy! But we still had a lot of fun!
Here are some fun pictures of the evenings events.

Me & Britney's baby, Brielle. I am so excited that they've moved back to Utah. Bri is getting so big and is such a good baby.

Rylee was scared of Santa! She did not want to sit on his lap. She was the first one to sit on his lap, and after she watched everyone else, she started to warm up to him a little.

Nope Mom, the teddy bear won't help!

Emily is such a doll!

This is a yearly tradition. My Mom and Aunt Tracy with Santa.

It's Game Time!

Rylee had a blast. She was up until after midnight with us.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
