The annual Fillmore Family Christmas Party was held two days before Christmas and it was an awesome time. We started with Humanitarian projects, Rice Krispie House decorated and scooters. (We have such a big crowd we always have the party at my mom's school and the kids love playing in the gym.) Then we headed to the library for the talent show then back to the gym for dinner, the nativity, gift exchange and basketball. The highlight, although I don't have pictures, is always Dave in his pink tutu, doing his imitation of ice skating on roller blades. It started after the 2004 winter olympics and has only gotten better. This year he had a partner, his son Evan, and so it was introduced as "Couples Skating". The music was the Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker. HILARIOUS.
The Nativity this year was better than last. I guess as kids get older, they start to "get it". Tanner would only participate if he could be King Herod. So he was and a great job he did. Mason was the best looking wiseman of the bunch (in my opinion of course).
I love Christmas and I love Christmas with family even more. How lucky to be surrounded by people that I didn't choose but that I love deeply.
