We celebrated Christmas with the Sylvester side on December 23. Chris had won a rental of the Sokol Bar at a benefit auction and used it for Sylvester Christmas. With our family only growing larger, it was getting pretty cramped in rotating houses yearly. This venue was perfect for our family. There was more than enough room for kids to play, adults to relax, and plenty of table space for food.
This little sweetie was excited to play with big kid toys.
We even created a backdrop for pictures.
My aunt is always excited to have games for the kids.
Food time!
Andie and I wore matching Santa shirts
We even had a surprise visit from St. Nicholas.
He was a hit with the kids.
Andie did much better than a few weeks before at Breakfast with St. Nick.
Back in September, several of us put our money together to win a huge pot of cafeteria chili that we adored as kids at St. John School. It was delicious and reminded us of childhood.
More games!
Babyland!

These kids were so excited to be together.
Always a ton of prizes
Present time!
Andie had plenty of presents to open too!
Right before our Annual Chinese Christmas Gift Exchange with the adults. Notice the bottom left brown wrapped box. Inside we revealed Baby G #3 to my Aunt Carla, who picked the box.
We finally ended the night with Charades.
It was so much fun to chat, laugh, and make new Christmas memories with our extended family.
Until next year...
