Our second Christmas party of the season was the Hendrick's Family Party...this year we all went to Uncle Glenn and Auntie Sherry's house for a breakfast brunch gathering. We had three different kinds of pancakes, several different toppings, sausage, yogurt with granola, hot chocolate, coffee, and several kinds of juice!
 It was cold outside! Annaliese could hardly move in her carseat after getting all bundled up...but at least she looked cute...and warm!  |

| Annaliese was a big fan of the blueberries! And her fingers and lips were blue for the rest of the day!! |

| Apparently it's exhausting eating so much for breakfast...and Grandpa's lap is the perfect place for a power nap!
After we had all eaten more than enough, we put away the tables and moved on to presents. Most of the kiddos participated in a gift exchange which Annaliese slept through- but she was given a super soft, very cute stuffed monkey (thanks Brodan!) The adults each brought a $10 gift based on the theme "Something that makes you happy." We then played Christmas Bingo and proceeded with a gift exchange. For an idea of what makes us happy, here are a few of the gifts people brought: coffee, coffee mugs, wine, beer, a beer mug, pretzels (to go with the beer!), snowballs, plant food and bulbs and nail polish.

In the end, I took home a bag of coffee beans and a bar of dark chocolate, and Kyle came home with a travel coffee mug that you can put pictures in. Neither the coffee or the chocolate made it all the way back to California!!
