We had what is going to be our annual Christmas open house. I used to made up trays like my mom did (except the cookies don't look near as nice as hers) and give them out at Christmas time. Then Scott came up with the idea of having an open house. We did it one year and it was nice, but not a whole lot of people showed up. A friend of mine came and brought all the siblings she had to babysit and that made things loud. Well, we didn't do it the next year but we have done it the last two years and it has worked out pretty good. The only problem is, I made enough cookies to pass out cookies to everyone instead of just making enough for the evening. I have 11 one gallon ziploc bags of cookies left over....enough for 2 more open houses. I'm going to give plates of cookies to some of the ones that didn't come and that will help get rid of some of them. Otherwise, the next picture anyone sees of me will be quite large ;)
I think I was able to get pictures of everyone that came over.
Kori
Shylah
Miss Stedronsky....our neighbor
Patricia Troyer (and Garrett)
David Troyer
Ray, Charlotte and Esther Meador
Titus Marks
His wife, Bertha 
Berta (Bertha's twin sister and Kori and Shylah's Grandma)
Moe and Mary Jo Parker
(Scott forgot to send out my Christmas cards so some of them were hand delivered and we had to call a few people and let them know about. Moe and his wife, Mary Jo were invited about 2 hours before it started. I really didn't expect them to come since it was short notice. Well, I thought wrong!!! After Mary Jo was done at the school, they came over!!)
As you can tell, there wasn't very many there, but we had a good time visiting with the ones that did!!!!
