Grandkids Christmas Party

For the last three years we have had a Christmas party for our grandchildren.

The idea is to let the parents go out for the night and let us have fun with the kids.

This year we started with a trip to McDonald's and then we decorated gingerbread houses.

Then we watched Horton Hears a Who. The kids weren't too interested in the movie but they had a great time running wild while the movie was on.

Jace and Zack watching just how to do it.

Joslynn had more fun eating the candy. Do you see the glint in her eye? That's our Joslynn!

Grandpa gets in and helps.
I think Zack enjoyed the night.

Jared had a fun time too!

The little ones ate while the older kids designed.

Then Rob and Abby did their traditional Christmas waltz.

Well okay, maybe it will be a tradition but they're sure cute together.

And of course we can't forget the annual Watkins Christmas family rock concert

featuring Rob on vocals, Gerrick on drums, Randon on guitar and Abby on keyboard and dancing.

(Sorry couldn't get the sound to work but it's still fun to watch)
