Barton Christmas Parties

December 15th was the big day for the Barton family Christmas parties.  We headed down for the festivities, stopping first in Centerville for the extended Barton family party, complete with food, white elephant exchanges and decorating trees.



Brynlee didn't decorate a tree because she was given a challenge by her gymnastics coach to not eat artificial colors for the month of December.  That is also the reason why should looks so thrilled about her white elephant gift.  Pure artificial color in a package.

At least Trevor made up for her lack of excitement...


Then it was off to Chris and Cheryl's house for delicious appetizers and desserts.  Talk about yumminess!  We opened gifts from cousins, siblings and grandparents.  Grandma sure was busy sewing this year.  She made pillowcases for the grandkids, except for the girls who had dolls.  They got doll clothes that she sewed.  All so very cute!













This is the best picture I got of the cousins.  At least most are looking.  I think Jane was running from creepy Santa.  :)
