Every year Sean's Mom's family has a Christmas Party. There are easily over 100 people there every year. Each of Diane's siblings assigns their family members soups, breadsticks, and desserts. Everyone brings their stuff and meets at a church cultural hall that whoever is hosting has selected. We eat, have a pinata, visit with long lost cousins, and Santa comes.
We have missed the last few years because sometimes it is so chaotic and Sean just couldn't take it anymore. For some reason, he decided we were going to go this year. So, we headed out to Eagle Mountain. The traffic was horrendous. It is really no fun going through Lehi during rush hour. We got lost, but wandered around on some dirt (ice) roads looking for a steeple and finally found where we were supposed to be.
Again, it was organized (or maybe not so organized) chaos. The soups were good, the breadsticks were great, and the kids got to see Santa for the 3rd time this year. You would think he would know what they wanted by this time.
They got remote control cars and the best part was all the fun they had after we left and came home. They set up tracks and jumps and courses in the basement that went through several rooms. They were up till after 1:00 in the morning playing with their silly cars.
