Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas from the Wild West!













Every Christmas we have a theme dinner. We go all out and expect great and valiant efforts in the "dress up" category of the evening.  It has become a very hilarious family tradition.  

Favorite memories of this year: 
Brian riding his stuffed animal horse down the hallway shooting his cap guns-
everyone over 10 years old hit the deck and everyone under 2 was crying-until we realized it was him. 
Aunt Denise's water guns...they were so much fun for her, until she became the target :)
Our 88 year old neighbor's gigantic sponge cowboy hat & Gwenyth's Indian headress.  
Drinking Root Beer out of the bottle. 
The sight of us all at dinner.

Everyone looks so Western! I love all of the outfits. Denise, good call on the water gun...dangerous as it sounds like it backfired a bit. Brian, classic with the cap gun - another Christmas where the kids are scared to death! We'll have to amp it up even more next year. Missed everyone very much and am so glad that the evening was so awesome.
