Well, yesterday the whole family was together for our Christmas celebration, I know it's not Christmas yet, but with everyone having different destinations over the next week this was the best time for us all to gather. So the house was so full with people that even though it was frigid outside, we had to open the window to cool the house off. One of the many preparations, at my SIL's request, was a family tradition from many years ago (I haven't seen it it probably 7+ years). It was this huge ball with all kinds of finger foods on it. It took several hours for each thing to be stuck with a toothpick and placed on the ball. I believe my MIL said there were over 500 toothpicks on the ball with food. YUM . . . we all enjoyed the hors d'oeuvres. Jay was busy finding black olives for our twin niece, Brooke, and nephew, Chase. 
After we munched, we opened presents, and then enjoyed a great meal. We did enjoy some family time visiting and playing with all the little ones. Our niece and newphew are 19 months old and boy are they busy. We also have an adorable nephew who is only 7 weeks old that is just precious!!
Once the celebration was over everyone headed home.
