Clodfelter Christmas Party

Last Sunday we headed to Winston to go to Josh's family's big Christmas party. Josh's mom has 2 sisters and a brother and then his grandma adopted 5 more children, so total there are 9 brothers and sisters. Last year we started having it at a church's fellowship hall and it is so nice. We have plenty of room and they even bring the toys down from the nursery for the little one's. We had a great meal and a great time catching up with everyone. It is so nice because we only bring presents for Josh's Mamaw and Papaw. Josh's mom always brings something little for her 4 grand kids to open too!! I love it because it is about getting together and spending time together and not about presents.

My parents took Wade to the lake for the first part of the weekend so we could rest some. We met them on Sunday morning to pick him up before the party. It was a nice little break for Josh and I. Wade had not been away overnight since this summer so it was good for all of us!! He did have a accident right as my parents were loading the car to meet us. He fell when running outside and hit his forehead on a stump. He had a nice little knot and bruise. My poor parents were a mess. They couldn't even get it together, they felt so bad. We kept trying to tell them that it happens but they just felt horrible.

I started feeling bad towards the end of the party so I didn't get so many pictures but I did get a few cute one's!! I love this first picture because this is where a certain little 2.5 year old hid his favorite three toys so no one else would play with them! He always picks 2 or 3 toys and gets attached to them and doesn't want to let go of them the entire time.

I love both of their expressions in this picture. Sweet friends and cousins! Aunt Kendal had a good idea and brought silly string for the little one's. They all had so much fun playing with it; Wade even cried at the end because he was all out of silly string.

Nana brought Wade a little something to open and he loves it. He has been playing with his new truck all week. I didn't get one of Mamaw, Papaw and Wade all together but did manage to get one with Wade and Mamaw.

This was our attempt to get a cousin picture this year. However when it was almost 4pm and the three little one's hadn't had a nap you can only imagine how fun it was trying! I love the last picture of Eddie with his hands over his face because it just sums up what we were all feeling at that point!!!!!
