we headed up to Logan on Friday Dec. 17th for the kropf christmas party. bethie and I usually cannot make it because the party would be scheduled for a day during the week. this year it was on saturday the 18th, so we were able to go. yay!!
i bought a brand new camera before we left because i couldn't get it off my mind. ha! i know..i know..but it is a super cool camera. a Nikon coolpix. i will post pictures later. :)needless to say, i didn't have much time to get the hang of my newly purchased camera. so i was just playing around with it and got a couple of shots of these two adorable girls before we took them to get their pictures taken with their cousins.

later that night we headed over to bethies parents house for the christmas festivities.
there was so much yummy food! sandwiches-salads- chips-dip-candy & chocolate(that may be the same thing, but oh well)-dessert, ugh! it was so delish!
it was fun to sit around and chat with everyone(even though i had a blasted headache). everyone couldn't contain their excited because we all new the "big fella" was going to pay us a visit real soon.
here are some photos of the big guy himself
[abbi]
she loved him!
[Lilli]
she just wanted the paper.
I didn't get a picture of Holly and Sharon with santa. Holly is so very scared of him that she was in the back bedroom with Sharon. I really hope that she outgrows this because it is really so sad. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Love ya Holl!
Tim and Carrie [and abbi too] 
It was so fun to get to spend time with great friends that I can honestly call my family.
[ornaments on Amandas christmas tree. love them!]
