Brenchley Family Christmas Party

This year it was Scott's turn to host the Brenchley Family Christmas Party. We had the party on December 23 at our house. Scott made chili and we had everyone else bring bread, salads, or desserts.

We set up tables in our basement. It was a little bit tight, but it worked out great! Here we are at dinner:

After eating, we had a gift exchange. First the kids did one. Scott read a story where you pass the gift to the right and left depending on what is said in the story. After the kids did it, we had a white elephant gift exchange for the adults. Scott read the same story and we passed the gifts that way.

After cleaning up a bit, we all loaded up and went to the Spanish Fork Festival of Lights. There was a line to get in, but it didn't take long. It was fun to drive through and look at the lights. Kendrick was asleep before we got through it!

The party was fun and I don't think there were any problems, except my glass "dinner bell" that Grandma J. gave me for Christmas a long time ago got broken! Oh well, I guess that is what I get for leaving it out on the table. It was on a table that Kendrick can't get to, but the other little kids could. Guess I will know better for next time!
