We went to the Jeppsen Christmas party on the 17th. We meet at the church in Mantua. All of Matt's aunts and uncles and cousins on his dad's side meet for a big meal (this year it was brunch), we usually do a sort or an activity-this year we did a bingo game where when your name was called you had to stand and tell a bit about yourself and what you've been up to over the last year. It was such a cute idea.
As is usual at the Jeppsen party, Santa stopped by! He "brought" a gift for all the kids. They were all SO excited. Some of the kids sang some songs while we waited for Santa to come in with his bag of toys. It was pretty funny.
So he brought a little toy for each of our kids, a cell phone for Ava, a little truck and trailer for Bubb, Nerf guns for Port, and some nail polish stickers for Chloe (those Sally salon effects ones). Chloe's little gift was the tiniest in the whole bag, and poor Port was last. He was a little nervous that Santa forgot him (and his mom and dad were a little nervous that his gift might've fallen out of the bag somehow), but somebody's gotta be last, right?
At the end of the party Matt's grandma & grandpa had some gifts for all of the great grandkids (and there are LOTS of them!). They had a little gift bag for each one with some little treats and toys for them in it. It was so sweet and fun.
