WARNING: Lots of pictures

This December has been full of Christmas celebrations. I have been so busy with work, school, Christmas gatherings, baking, and catching up with friends that I have once again neglected my blog. Instead of dividing all the Christmas activities into different entries, I have decided to overwhelm you with one big photo blog. Tread lightly and enter with care.

Welcome to the Annual Drabert Christmas Party

December 13, 2009

This will be our 3rd Christmas party to date.

A few friends that have stuck around for MANY years.

Family...

... and more family

We even had some fellow bloggers (Elle Bee)

We love hosting our annual Christmas party because it is a time for us to celebrate our favorite holiday with some of our favorite people. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family in our lives.




Christmas Part 1

Sara's side of the family

My oldest nephew on my side of the family played Santa this year.

My other two nephews were very happy with just opening the presents.

Christmas Part 2:

Christmas Eve with close family friends

It is our tradition to go over to P & G's house every Christmas Eve for tamales, margaritas, and hanging out with some special people.

Christmas Part 3

The hubby's side of the family

Complete chaos, but oh so much fun!

We are blessed with 5 nephews and 2 nieces on this side of the family, which equals a lot of gifts, a lot of wrapping paper to clean up, and a lot of excitement.

Our oldest niece won the prize for biggest gift... a life sized horse.

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas. The Draberts wish you and your family a happy new year!
