~ Anderson Family Christmas Party ~

This year's annual Anderson Family Christmas party was help at the Lodge at Lyman's Mill.  This was a great place to hang out to visit and eat with the family.  Linda and George were in charge this year and had a great meal put together for everyone.  Afterwards, we spent time watching some old family videos.  It was fun to see everyone in their younger years.  The kids had a ball hanging out and playing with their cousins.

~Candy Winner~
Ally filling out the candy count contest entry, with a little help.  I told her to guess a number and she said 15, so I put a one in front of that to make it 115 and much to our surprise, Ally won.  This candy box that Ally won had 120 pieces of candy in it for us to take home!

~ Our busy little Tyra Lottie ~

When she was to be found, it was usually in the kitchen watching this cute little Santa climb the ladder.

If not in the kitchen, she would hide out under the pool table with all of the other kids!

~Great-Grandma Loraine~

Grandma Loraine truly loves her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  This year she had made over 30 dish clothes and gave one to each child and grandchild.  She is pictured here giving a one dollar bill to each great-grandchild.  She is always to thoughtful and works hard throughout the year just to make sure she has something to give to each of her posterity.  She is a great person and example to us all!

~Balloon Launch~

Linda had blown up 40 balloons for each of the kids to let up in the air.  She had everyone release at the same time and yell 'Merry Christmas'!  The kids loved watching them all go up in the air.
