It's Christmas, already?

And with nothing more than the turning of a page in the calendar, the Christmas season is in full swing. With the parade on December 1 and the first of our family celebrations on December 2, I am anticipating a full month of holiday cheer. Saturday, Richard and Angie hosted all of my mom's family for an early Christmas get-together. 36 members of the extended Clawson family were able to make it to Georgetown for the event--13 of those were kids under the age of 10. There was plenty of delicious food, lots of story sharing, and a cut-throat game of gift exchanging like only the Clawsons can do. Laiken and I came out pretty good this year! I miss you guys already and can't wait until we can do it again.

Here's Laiken holding the newest addition to the group...Baby Brady.
Nolan and Ashlynn really enjoyed playing this duck game about a thousand times.
Carson and Kelsey both lost teeth while we were there. Kelsey's came out while eating one of the cookies I made!!! Stephanie, I promise they really were soft. :-). Carson lost his other top front tooth when Colby accidentally kicked him in the mouth. It was already loose and Carson was really wanting it out anyway, so Colby just gave it a little help.
