New Thanksmas Eve

I know 2 posts in 1 day. I have the day off and want to get it all posted.

Our friends wanted to get together this year for a lot of things, it was so hard to get everyone together on the same night at the same time so we decided to have one combined party for all the things we wanted to get together for. Thus our New Thanksmas Eve party. We went over to April’s parents house and had dinner. We were all in charge of something. Alex played in a tennis tournament and won a turkey so they supplied the beautiful bird. We were also having a contest on the WORST best Christmas outfit. Congratulations Dallas. It was pretty hilarious. After dinner we had awkward family Christmas photos in front of the tree:

Then we had a family photo by the fire. Does Dustin have a mustache? Yes. Is it real? Yes. Was the color of it enhanced with a little eye shadow? Yes.

Then we ended our evening with a little white elephant giftage. (A good point was brought up, why white elephant?)  Then we all traveled home. We have the greatest friends of all time! Love you guys!

Merry New Thanksmas Eve to you all!
