Annual Jones Family Christmas Party

 Each year Santa comes to the annual Jones family Christmas Party, so the kids look forward to this every year.  I had so much fun decorating the tables...they looked so festive!
 What a good looking bunch!  Reese was so cute with Santa this year, and not scared at all.  She just kept wanting to give him hugs.  Thanks again Santa- you are the best!
I had been looking forward to this party for months cuz we were finally going to surprise Dale & Sandy with their home movies that we complied and put on DVDs.  We gave copies to everyone else in the family during Thanksgiving, but Dale & Sandy where on a cruise so we told everyone to keep it a secret till Christmas.  This is a project that Sandy has wanted to do for a couple years, but was overwhelmed by all their movies & didn't know where to begin.  So Danny & I decided to secretly do it for them.  It took a long time, but it was totally worth it.  They were so surprised and excited when they opened their gift and saw all 22 of the DVDs.  Dale & Sandy couldn't wait to watch them & spent most of their Christmas vacation watching & reliving all the memories.  That makes us so happy!  Merry Christmas!!
