Christmas Celebrating! Dec 23rd

(So these last months I've mostly been facebooking all my photos and neglecting the blog. But I am posting about our holidays anyway! I'll just pretend most of you haven't seen these on my FB account already!)

On the 23rd Day of Christmas, The Gilberts headed to the annual Sellers Family Christmas Party -- historically held on Christmas Eve, but more recently it has leaned toward to 23rd, so as to make room for extended family to have their own tradition on the actual Chritmas Eve.

The BOWS! From Justins mom, matching the outfit - love it!

 The GRINS - Mr. Jackson is willing to play along with photo taking if mom catches him in a good mood. :O)

 The Cuddles - lots of snuggles from uncles, aunts and grandparents

 Sweet eats! I couldn't stay away from the Cranberry goat cheese spread form Costco
 My mom's famous Christmas Beef Stew with Vinegar. Muffins, dips, treats on the side. Yum!
This TOP SECRET cheesy toast recipe is a major party tradition for us! We forget our manners and just snatch 'em off the plate. And while we are nibbling, we are asking when the next batch is coming out-- they're that good.
A Great Tradition - Christmas Stripey Pajamas from Hanna Anderson- Thanks Mom!
 Jackson and Max, Peyton as herself

 Love this of my Dad, Grampa Glen, and Peyton - Granddaughter #1
 Love the kids poses here

 Great Grins for Grampa!
 Theis library ladder was worth the effort to keep the kids on it -- photo heaven
 Jackson, Peyton, and Cousin Max Guerrero
 Looking like little elves that live in the book shelves or something -- cute 'ems
