This is family party #2
We head to mothers 2 nights before Christmas and eat yummy potato bar (special request put in for a few sweet potatoes) then the annual program where little kids share a talent, and the live nativity is put on. I was helping get the kids ready and next thing i know i am handed a baby doll and told i need to play Mary. It was so funny because its all little kids and then me at 24 playing the role of Mary with my cousin Lindsey's little boy playing Joseph. Everyone laughed so hard as soon as we walked out and sat in front of the fire place as the story was being read.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day include just my family with a visit to Mother's Christmas Day along with the Church's

Kempton Family Party

This is family party #3
The annual Kempton Family party this year was held at Mothers. It fun to have the chance to get to know Mother's brothers kids and no children are allowed to its fun to be able to chat with all my cousins and distant cousins and not having to worry about chasing kids or being afraid of something valuable of mothers being broken. Since it was at mothers this year she decided to do mexican food which is always my favorite to eat. That day made a trip with my sister Holly out to Carolina's to get 5 dozen fresh tortillas for mother. (best mexican food in arizona) That night show up to mothers an hour before to start making bean burro's, tostado's and get everything set up. The food was so delicious and couldn't of asked for a better meal. Mother made 6 different pie's and had the tables set by 10am day of the party. She is amazing....

Host of the Party. Mother is inspiring and always so giving.. cant say enough about how amazing she is

People wondered what i did over 2 1/2 weeks of being home in Arizona and asked if i ever got bored. I never had the chance to get bored and time was filled with lots of fun memories of many family parties.
