Christmas 2013

I'm so thankful that this Christmas we had a healthy family and that everyone could make it to all of our Christmas parties! Last year we only made it one because someone was always sick. I've tried to pick a few pictures from each gathering to highlight. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well!
 
 
 
All the Van Den Broek's got together earlier in December I decided now was the time to get a family picture in case we had a repeat of sickness like last year. :)


 This is all seven of my dad's siblings.
 

 
You had to be there, but the funniest part of the evening was Elijah opening Uncle Ken's gag gift, an old used toaster. Poor Elijah looked so disappointed. :( With a little encouragement he went over and stole Uncle Ken's good gift and gave him back the junky toaster. :)
 
 
Next was Mark's side. We always have lots of good food and fun with all the cousins. This is a picture of Grandma and Grandpa with all the grandkids except Jackson. They are sitting with two tractors we had refinished for a Christmas gift.
 
 
We ended up having our family Christmas early because of church being cancelled due to snow. The kids were excited to open stockings and a family gift.
 
 
We've had several knock out games already!
 
 
Christmas morning.
 

Last but not least we got together with my side. Elijah is helping make a appetizer plate.

Ethan and Amelia were our entertainment for the evening. Ethan played Jingle Bells on his bells and Amelia played a couple Christmas songs on the piano.
