2013 Par-tay

Another year just flew by. 
Seriously.
I can not believe how fast time flies. 
Our New Years Eve party was pretty wild and crazy...kind of off the hook actually.

We kicked it off with a dance party "Gangnam Style".  The crowd went nuts!

 

People were passing out...

 

There was a Mexican Train going...

 

Multiple screens going with favorite videos...

 

There were quite a few awkward photos being taken... 

 

We had wild animals roaming around aimlessly...

 

We even had not one, but two DJs!

  

What can I say?
We party like rock stars.
Happy New Year!

Christmas Dinner

Our Christmas dinner was spent with the Grosser Zoo.  Of course no gathering of the Grossers would be complete without this sight... 

My MIL is quite the photo snapper...

I just LOVE this picture of our Oma...

Silly socks...

The party officially started when little Miss Hayed arrived!

Waiting oh so patiently...

This helmet was definitely worth the wait!

As was this one!

It was so nice to get together with everyone.
 I just love the time we spend together and seeing everyone so happy makes me smile.

 

Christmas Morning

I have to start this post with saying that none of us was ready to get up and do Christmas this morning...no one ecept Ty that is.
 The rest of us not so much. 
Aaron said it best when I woke him up.  He said,"I'll just open presents later.  I know they'll be ready for me when I get up. I just want more sleep right now." 
That's my boy.

Good morning my sunshines!

 

 

Apparently Duck tenders are her favorite.  I have never seen her rip the paper open quite like this...

 

 

 

 

Uncle Jeremy and Marky

 

He was SO excited about his new Goosebumps book!

Our Christmas tradition is eggs benedict and anyone who wants to stop by does...It really is a delish tradition.  It's always a great morning.

 

Merry Christmas!

We wish you all a very merry Christmas!!!

 

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Exe was spent with at my Mom's house with the whole Blair clan. 
 

Marky the elf was adorable as usual.

Snuggles with Aunt Beckie and of course my little book worm in the back ground snuggling with Auntie Julie.  Side note here, I think Julie was successful in dodging the camera during this holidy season...I'll get you next year for sure though Jules!

 

Every year the cousins gress up for the nativity reinactment while my Grandpa tells the manger sstory.

 

My Aunt Tammy with her kiddos plus her newly aquired daughter in law.  They all have on fantastically ugly sweaters!

 

 

My Ty Guy

 

The boys recieved some cute puppets from Great Grandma and Grandpa.

  

My Grandma and I...I just lover her so much!

Mister Aaron with his new puppet and blanket.

We didn't have ugly sweaters on so we did some crazy faces instead.

Merry Christmas Eve!

It's always so wonderful to get together with everyone.
 I'm so lucky to have a family so full of love.

A Bowling Party

My MIL celebrated her ## Birthday this year at the good old bowling alley. 

The kids tore it up out there. 
Seriously, my 3 year old niece was a couple points away from beating my score, so obviously they're really good.

 

 

 

The three amigos

 

 

 

Yes, thats my bo leading his uncle around to bowling alley with a leash.  He may have even barked like a dog.

 

Obviously we care so much about the enviornment tht we forgo disposable candles and use a lighter instead. 

 

The birthday lady and her Grandkids...Hope you had a great day!  I know we did!

Grizwold Christmas

Our "Grizwold" family Christmas...AKA The Millers   

 

My Dad and Donna always put out such a delicious spread, its hard to save room for dessert!

Maddi and Aaron snuggled up and ready to dive into the gifts.
