The Palmer Family Cousins Party

Clay and Heather hosted the BEST Christmas Party. All of the cousins from my mom's side were invited. There was lots of food (a Palmer staple) and we played a gift exchange game- everyone was required to bring a gift that reminded them of our Childhood Christmases. It was so fun to reminisce and catch up. Hopefully we won't let this tradition die again!


Hanging around- Aud, Al, Nate, Kate, Garbetina

The girl cousins- Al, Kate, Heather, Kip and Aud

Visiting by the fire outside (Clay has an amazing backyard he did by himself!)
Jessie (Gar's girlfriend), Garrett, Aaron, and Al

Al's gift was a room freshener. When Allie had to tell why this gift reminded her of a past Christmas she told about when we slept in with my grandparents one year and Clay kept letting really stinky farts. And we were all held captive in that room!

Nathan got Hot tomales (something Clay always got in his "pile" or stocking.) and some m&m's- something that we remember Linda ALWAYS snacking on.
