It been a few years since I organized the Williams Family Christmas Party. I told Lee after last years party that I would take the lead and organize the festivities. I reserved the elementary gym at my school. The lunch ladies had made it look like a winter wonderland so it was a perfect set up!
I was grateful for all the help especially from Grandpa, Mark, Tiffani, Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm. My grandson's don't wait to be asked, they just jump in and help! I also got to show them around the school.

The Grands really enjoyed trying out the Smart Board.

A big hug for Cash from Uncle Lee!
My heart was so full watching almost 70 family members enjoying delicious food. I also had several crafts for all ages, and Grandpa BeBe played games with some of the children on one side of the gym.
When you ask Lee to bring the drink, he really brings the drink!
My big helpers Callahan and Abbott!
The crafts were a big hit and everyone young and older had fun!

Mark and Dianna moved to the Kaysville area and they now have three of their children nearby. It was so wonderful to have Eric and Rachel, Jodi and Chris, Lisa and Hayden, and their families at the party.

Dustin, so proud of his candy cane!
TK, awesome Christmas tree!
Everyone enjoyed making sugar scrub, even Grey!

Lee, The Queen's Storyteller retired and Brad volunteered to continue that tradition. He read a sweet story, it was just perfect.
I asked Dianna, Jodi, and Lisa to sing. They sang three beautiful songs and Rose joined them for one of them. I watched a proud husband, dad and grandpa watching them sing. Dianna also played the piano as we say a few Christmas songs.
Thanks to Abe for leading the music, it was wonderful he and Chloe could come. They were sealed in the St. George Temple today.
We even had a surprise visit from Santa! I had just asked the children twelve and younger to come up on the stage when Santa flung open the curtain. The children ran toward him, giving hugs, and telling him what they wanted for Christmas. It was a sweet moment and we had a whole bunch of excited believers!
Cute Shep waving at Santa!
Grahm asked me, "Is that Grandpa?"
Santa had a great helper passing out candy canes!
I think it's safe to say that Abbott was thrilled!
Santa said that Grahm, Colby, and Grey have been very good this year!
Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!
