Bezzant Christmas Party

So, I am finally blogging, or starting the blogging process of Christmas. First up is the annual Bezzant Christmas Party. Every year Jason's mothers side gets together (cousins and all) for food, fun and the telling of The Christmas Story. His Grandpa reads the Christmas story while all the Great-grandkids act it out. Afterwards his Grandpa bears his testimony and gives us some great adivce. Last year Brad played the role of baby Jesus, and this year he was a shepard...Jensen too. They just kind of followed the other kids in and stood around. :) We had a potluck of yummy soups and Aunt Kathys yummy sugar cookies, and Grandpa and Grandma brought sweet rolls for everyone. There were MANY gingerbread houses for all the kids to decorate. Uncle Mark had a tractor ride going on, and at the end Santa Claus came. The kids of course were super excited to see Santa Claus...well most of them anyway. It was a great night, and I had a great time talking to all of the cousins. I really love Jasons cousins, they are so nice and fun to talk to. Below are a ton of pictures!! Enjoy!

The kids with Santa

Jensen didnt throw as much of a fit, he just wanted off.

Brad didnt like being on Santas lap and cried and was reaching out for us. At one point he started to calm down....

He then looked over at Santa, Santa said Hi and Brad freaked out.... everyone was laughing. It was quite hilarious.

Jason, me, Nessa, Lisa, Lauren & Uncle Mark with Santa

to say they enjoyed their gingerbread pieces would be an understatement.
