McDowell Family Christmas Party

Every year the McDowell's have a family Christmas party with John's siblings. This year Chris thought it'd be nice to start the tradition with his family. We invited everyone over to our house. It's been a while since we've all been together, so it was really nice to see everyone. We had all 5 kids, spouses and all 5 grandkids there.
In the morning all the guys went out on a pheasant hunt. Later, we had a declicious dinner, a smoked turkey made by "Grandpa". It was sure good! Then, we opened presents. We do a gift exchange each year by drawing names. (Thanks everyone for our presents, they were perfect!!)
Here's a cute picture of Korbin, now 20 months old!

This is Jamar, our nephew. He is Ty an Joy's little guy. They are expecting their second, a girl at the end of January.

Above, is Isaac. He's our nephew, too, and belongs to Justin and Diana.
Landon got binoculars from Grandma and Grandpa. He was so excited!

And last, but not least, here's Grace. She is Justin and Diana's newest baby.

Grandma made all of the kids pajamas. We didn't manage to get a picture with Isaac and Grace, but here's the other three cousins.

We had a great time and we were so excited to see everyone!!! Thanks for coming!

That looks like so much fun. Cute PJ's. What a nice grandma. Those little kids are all so cute.

Did you get a group picture of the entire family? Or do what we do, get a guys, then a girls pic. It will be fun to look back as the years pass.
