The first Saturday of every December, we venture to Meadow for the annual Beckstrand Family Christmas party......It is ALWAYS something to be remembered! Whether it is THE obnoxious cousin making people want to punch him, Uncle Don singing, my father-in-law playing the kazoo, or returning to Grandma and Grandpa's house to drink a glass of homemade root beer and pick up our plate of goodies that Grandma spent the ENTIRE month of November working on.....you HAVE to LOVE IT!!!!! 
This year we gave Grandma a break from our chaos and invaded Monica and Derricks home. We had such a wonderful time! We stayed up way too late and laughed and laughed! I think my favorite part of the whole trip was hanging out with Monica and Lisa while Brian and Derrick sat in the basement with the kids and watched cartoons. The three of us had such a good laugh!! They are THE funniest, most talented, thoughtful pair of sisters you could ever meet! Thanks for letting us crash your GORGEOUS home Mo! And thanks for the FUN!!!!

Wooley and Grady the reindeer....too cute!
Allie playing with Addie and Carlie, it was so funny to watch the three of them play pretend...
This years party had the first "successful" talent show I have seen at a family party. Our brother-in-law Michael, who is ALSO a HILARIOUS guy, decides that we should dress like elves and play the kazoo...Man!!! I FINALLY found MY true talent! It is definitely a calling...
Uncle Don sang about Willey Clause, Robert's family sang their own rendition of The 12 Days of Christmas complete with socks, pot holders, and Carmel nut rolls!!! TOO FUNNY!!!

Our kids had a GREAT time playing with their cousins! Especially Jason and Shanna's kids.they live in Idaho, so we don't see them NEARLY as much as we would like!!!
SERIOUSLY....I have to say that I am an extremely blessed woman when it comes to "in-laws"!
Brian has an AMAZING family. Immediate AND extended!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!
Brian...what a GOOD sport AND killer kazoo player!!! Man...I love this guy!!!!

Good Times, Good Times! The kazoo's are a priceless memory! I never thought I'd see Uncle Kerry playing a kazoo...who'd a guessed :) you all have a hidden talent!
Hanging out an lauging with you was definately my favorite part of the weekend. You need to come stay more often, you are welcome anytime! The kids played so well together. Carlie keeps telling me that "awie" is her friend.
