Another year with our fantastic friends for our annual Christmas Party! Kelly's poor boys were sick with the crud, but other than that... the party was a huge success filled with smiles, laughs, and memories that will last a life time! I'm pretty sure the pictures tell the story of our incredible night!
My two blessings from above!
Mi-Ma!!!!
My honey!!!!
The Hochstein Family!!!! They will be leaving soon for their next adventure. Like in January soon.... boo!!!! (Still in denial!) Seriously... Words cannot express how special they are to us and to how much they will be missed! And... an extra huge thanks to them for even making the party. Matt just returned from his 3 month training in Florida and they were heading out at 2 am to leave find a house in Phoenix. Their friendship is a friendship that is a true and rare gift! Nicole and Matt are the type of friends you feel like you grew up with since you were born. We love them so so so much!
The Wegner Family!!!!! First, a big shout out to Jay for making the frame for our party...as you will see later... a huge hit! Jay and I go way back... like to his mullet days era... and we are truly grateful for their friendship! They are such special people to us!
Aaron and Dan!!!! Dan and I also go way back... Kelly introduced me to him when we were in college! Dan was my roommate and will forever be my, "True Blue"! Love these two so very much! They will forever make me belly laugh with their crazy antics... mostly Dan! Aaron is such a good sport!
The Ramaekers Family!!!! Nick and Mike have been best buddies for decades. Mike and Nick were each others best men at their weddings... and Nick is William's Godfather. This family is also a true blessing to us and we couldn't feel more grateful for these 4! Love them!
The Benecke Family!!!!! Lisa and I have been around each other since the dance days... but ever since college... we couldn't get enough of each other! She truly became one of my besties! Miss Lisa and her family are always so kinds and sweet to us! They will always hold a special place in our heart!
3 cuties... so cute!
This pic was taken after we cried... I didn't want to forget to get a picture of us before the craziness began! I LOVE YOU, Nicole! You will forever be the person I admire and adore! I LOVE YOU!!!!! I will miss you so very much... like the kind of miss where I make a mixed tape of all our favorite songs and times together!
The Grandma's!
The Godfather!
Wondering if Santa was going to come for a visit... hmmmmm!?!
Dan and the beautiful, Ayanna B!
Santa arrived!!!!
The kiddos and Santa! LOVE THIS!!!!
I always have to sneak a Santa pic in...
Miss Lisa and one of her favorite choreographers, Mike for the studio... or at least that what Mike tries to tell her. They always make negotiations for new material and routines!
Our Goddaughter, Brooklyn!
Getting ready for the white elephant gift exchange among the adults!
William and Mallory got baseball cards from Kelly... she sure knows our kiddos! Thanks, Godmom!
Reenacting a Dancing with the Stars Dance that was done with a frame! It was hilarious!
The angel baby doll thingy was also a big hit... Melissa and Dan played a game where we had to guess the hairstyle of this baby to the movie or actress. The hair was some good hair that could style crazy. Some examples... Something About Mary... Baywatch... Silence of the Lambs... Farrah Faucet... Bo Derrik... it got wildly silly!
When Nicole took me to the Husker game... it was just one of the times Mike would kid that Nicole and Mike were not best friends anymore... Mikey and his jokes. And, he always tells Nicole's mom that he will take cash for babysitting his daughter and Matt! LOL!
Melissa and I posing... she is a hoot! Her and Dan had my belly aching!
The GG's missed Kelly!!!!
I wonder what Mallory thinks of me/us! Although she did say we are funny. We at least have one person convinced!
Ayanna and Dan always know how to make everyone laugh and smile! LOVE it!
I ran out of words to say about this... but it's still funny!
Oh, sweet Cooper and Brook!
So since the boys were sick, Gma Sue rode with Santa in his sleigh to Kelly and Dave's house! The boys were on cloud nine... okay... Joey is still thinking about the jolly guy!
What a great family photo with Santa!!!!
My Godson, Joe Joe! This is classic!
Joseph quickly recovered with his new toy!
Then Kelly stopped over the next day, because I had some presents and food for her and Joe! Miss Lori made the coolest The Godmother wine glass. She also made The Godfather mug for Nick!
Of course, Buddy had to get in on the frame action!
Again... what a marvelous night with friends! And as we said earlier... friendship is the best gift of all!!!!
