Grandma Debbie's Annual Christmas Party

She might be really mad that I posted a picture of her.... (she is singing in this one) haha!

But this was her party that she threw, and it's only fitting.

My mom is such a neat lady, and she throws our whole family (which is HUGE) the most fun Christmas party EVER.

This year she really wanted to make sure that everyone really got the feeling for the true meaning of Christmas. She found a family in her ward that wasn't going to have a Christmas this year due to health bills and reasons. So each family bought a present for each person in their family. We all brought them to the party that night. It was amazing how much we had. But I was even more amazed by how many gifts my mom personally bought for this family. She did a whole entire Christmas by herself before we even added our presents to the mix. She is the most giving person I have EVER met in my life.

We packed all the gifts up, went to the families house, unloaded all of them onto their front porch. Then we had all the children ring the doorbell, once they answered the children sang "We wish you a Merry Christmas, then took off and ran to the cars" It was a very neat experience.

I'm personally very proud of my own boys, they paid half out of their own money to help pay for the gifts we bought for these children. They have a great compassion for others that are going without. I think they realize that they are pretty lucky for all that they have.

Then of course Santa comes every year to the party

He makes sure all the kids have been good, asks each of them what they are wanting for Christmas and gives them a little gift for the night. Last but not least he sing a couple of Christmas songs with us.
