The kids waiting for Santa & "Buddy" 
Even Zach sat on Santa's lap!
Aunt Eunice was able to come
Tyler is Joseph and this year, Kris was not the donkey, Brad was the lucky one!
Bryce, Kris and Hayley enjoying the partyLast night, we had the annual Back Family Christmas Party. Usually we have it at one of the aunt's & uncle's houses, but this year, my mom and dad were in charge and held it at their ward house. According to my calculations, I estimate there were about 60+ people there. I made the comment to my siblings and hubby that it was a lot like a ward Christmas party, and I don't like those either! But, this year, it seemed more manageable. Maybe it was the space, maybe it was the fact that you got to eat at a table, maybe it was having my own family including my brothers at the table, maybe it was the absence of the obnoxious songs using the chimes, maybe it was the absence of the individual family talent show. Or maybe all of the above! Needless to say, the program consisted of a guy from my uncle's work who sang several songs, the annual Nativity scene, and the visit from santa...so much better. During the Nativity, my dad came up to me and said, "I sure miss Missie and her family this time of year, " and I agreed. So, I just wanted to wish her and her family a great Christmas and a Happy New Year, and let her know that we were and are thinking about her at this time. Merry Christmas to everyone else as well!
This video is to help her relive some of the party, I know she just loves them!
Also, thanks to my mom and dad for probably the best and most enjoyable Back party ever!

Dang we did miss a good one - Buddy came? And pro entertainment? We miss you guys too! It so did not look like Christmas here - 45 degrees with green grass. The snow we found on the way to the beach on Christmas eve helped a little. Thanks for the recap and tell Kris he makes an excellent star (with the help of Debbee).
