Trampoline + Yummy Food +Presents = Awesome Family Parties!

Sorry this post is so late... I was waiting for the pictures to complete the post! Enjoy!

Last month we had a few family parties on the calender. The a.m. of the 13th was the big VanOrden party. They held it down in Pocatello at the Youth Training Center, where Doug's cousin Lisa practices all of her gym routines. She is an amazing gymnast and we had way too much fun watching her perform a little for us and also playing on the trampolines and in the foam pit. We even got Mike and Sheila up on the tramps! Blake had a great time running around and playing in the foam as well! We got to see most of Doug's cousins and aunts and uncles and had a great time! Thanks to Julie and Garth for planning such a fun afternoon!

Doug thinking of a new career as a gymnast! Haha! I crossed my fingers that we wouldn't have to stop at the hospital on our way home!
Lisa showing off her awesome moves! This girl is so talented! Thanks Lisa!

Then we headed to the Willows where both Grandma V.O. and Grandpa Perkes live. Our family put on a small musical program for the residents as our Christmas gift to the Grandmas. We have done this before and will make it a tradition for years to come.

Saturday night we had a small party with just Doug's immediate family. Shane and Jess headed home to SC for Christmas so we wanted to party with them and exchange gifts before they left. We had so much yummy food and played games until we were all exhausted! They also gave us a few of our gifts early... Doug got new work boots and I got a shark hand vaccuum. Exactly what I asked for... seriously. Mike also got Lyndsey, Jessica and I the complete series of Gilmore Girls and I am loving it! There's nothing better than being spoiled by two dads! Blake got a Ball Bopper and it held his attention the rest of the evening! Thanks Dad and Mom for a great party!

Sunday after church we went out to Ed and Linda's for another family party. It was fun to see Grandma and Grandpa Campbell and Joni and Adam. Katy and Eric were there too and I got to see baby Eliza. She is too precious! I didn't get any pcitures, sorry!

I think our muscles are still recovering from jumping on the tramps, but we had a great weekend with our families!
