Ugly Christmas sweaters!

 The Talbot family party is always fun, lots of people and good food. This year we had a ugly sweater contest. There were 3 winners that won 50 dollars each. So fun, maybe because I was one of the winners.

 Michaela and Grandma Talbot showing off their reindeer sweaters! Some of them lighted up the room.

 The little ones each got a dollar and they were excited as ever.

 Then we had a visitor from the North Pole!! No matter how big they get I love getting pictures with Santa!

It was a great time with all of the family. We were only missing a few family members. Doug's brother and his wife could not be there. Two years ago exactly, she received a life saving bone marrow transplant and had been doing amazing until 2 weeks before the party. Then, she got the news that her cancer had come back. So, being the great fighter that she is, they are back in Salt Lake again. She is staying at the Hope house that is close to the hospital. We are praying for another miracle for her. She is an amazing lady and I love her dearly. If anyone has any extra prayers, send some her way. She stays so positive, and is a great example!
