12-20-2009 Sunday - The Allred Christmas Party

We had the Allred Christmas Party last night. It was a great evening with music, gifts, dinner and visiting!

Every year we have Christmas poppers at our table. We cross arms and pull and pop! Inside the poppers are paper crowns, silly jokes, and a toy. We had kazoos, whistles, and bouncy balls all over the table (just to name a few)!

Here I am with Jeff and my blue paper crown. For dinner we had cranberry feta salad, beef tenderloin, ham, company potatoes, ambrosia salad, glazed carrots and homemade rolls. Yummy!!!

The cousins - Andrea, Lisa, Shera, Heather, Noel, and Holly.

Blake and Drago played with the little kids and hung out. Cousin Michele was in Brazil with her boyfriend's family and Vern, Olivia, and Grant were at home in Dallas this year.

Cousins Finn, August, and Luke - The Three Musketeers!

Dean and Deanne enjoyed getting Holly's CD of her songs.

All the grand kids got in line to hug and kiss Grams "thank you" for their gifts!

We even had the Penrod family surprise visiting carolers perform for us! They were awesome!

Drew, Lisa, and Heather served the desserts of Rocky Road Fudge, Peppermint Cake, and BTS Cake.
