Crazy Week-end

I have been so bad at remembering my camera lately, so I'm sorry that there are no pictures. I will put it in the car today so I will take some pictures.
On Friday we were suppose to go to one of Ben's many work parties, but with the weather so bad we decided to no-show, and stay home and watch it snow and watch movies. It was so nice, I love this time of the year, Christmas tree lights, hot cocoa, and snow.
Then on Saturday Ben and I went shopping with Sarah and had a lot of fun. We also had our annual Poll Family Christmas Party. I love this party, I remember going ever since I was just a little girl. It was always held on Christmas Eve and I remember going and eating then playing BINGO and dancing. I don't know what makes this party so fun, but I love it. This year I was super excited because I knew that Boston was old enough to play BINGO and also my cousin Becky and Travis were going to be there, and I haven't seen them for a very long time. I had explained to Boston how to play BINGO and told him that you get to pick a gift and then keep it. We had a great dinner, and then BINGO began. Boston was pretty good at keeping up with the numbers and had a full card, but could not get BINGO, he was getting worried because everyone was getting BINGO and the gifts were going fast, finally he got BINGO and yelled BINGO and ran up to the stage to get a gift, we was so excited. It was so fun to watch his face and see how much he loved it. Someone came by and "stole" his gift and left him with theirs, and this kind of threw him, but he ended up with bubble gum so he was okay once he opened it. Next we got to dance, we do all these old dances. I wish I could remember the name of them. We did the Hocky Pocky and the bunny hop. Boston loved both. It was so fun to have Boston as my partner, because as a child I loved to dance, and Becky was always my partner, so it was fun to have my child love it to. This party is one of those memories that makes a mom happy to be a parent. Thanks to my aunts who were in charge of it this year, we had such a great time. Anyone is invited so next year everyone is welcome.
Sunday we had the Gunn family party, Adam is putting together a book of Ben's Grandpa Doug and gave us a preview. It is awesome. Adam is very talented, thanks Adam for doing it. We had so much fun hanging out with the Gunn's. After everyone had went home, Ben decided to pull out old family Christmas movies, we stayed up til almost mid night watching them with Erik, Craig and Keri, we laughed so hard and it was fun to see little Ben as a kid. I cant wait for Christmas this year.

I'm so sad I missed the movies! Ben was the funnest at Christmas! Such fun to give presents to because he always had the best reactions!
