Every year David's Gramma hosts a Grandkid's Christmas Party. This started many years ago and has continued to be a family tradition, even with the loss of his Grandpa in 2002. So last night was the big event. We all gathered at Gramma's where she had decorated and prepared delicious food. There were 14 of us total including two great-grandchildren. We had so much fun visiting and talking about names for new babies that will arrive in 2008. The best event of the night (which I missed because I just stepped out to warm a bottle) was when David's cousin, Fallon, shook up a bottle of Parmesan Ranch salad dressing and the cap flew off. The dressing shot out of the bottle like soda covering the arms, faces, and shirts, of those sitting next to her. George, her fiance, got it the worst. It provided a good laugh though!
We also enjoyed receiving our annual Christmas ornament from Gramma. This year she gave us each a gold ornament from her collection. Everyone loved them. Janell shared with us a talk that Grandpa Mills gave at Christmas time that was touching. It is obvious how each grandchild loved and miss their Grandpa. This tradition gives all of us an opportunity to remember him and learn new things about him.
Overall, it was a great evening. It is always fun to catch up with everyone and celebrate this season!
