Extended Soptich Family Christmas Party 2009

We had our Extended Soptich Family Christmas party this last weekend up at Ensign Ranch. We had a lot of fun. Here's Aunt Becky directing the handing out of Grandma Great's gifts.





Ahhh memories - Gracie and Halle put on a little program for us. They both did a great job - Gracie on the violin and Halle on the piano - see the videos below.




Family hug (minus a few)

I KILLED myself to finish this silly quilt for the gift exchange - in fact, it took me so stinkin' long to "snip" the seam allowances that we had to go up Saturday morning instead of Friday night. You see, in the Soptich family every gift has to be homemade. You put a number on your wrapped gift and then another of the same # is put in a bag for drawing. The #'s are drawn by those choosing to participate (that have also made something) and then matched up to see what you got in return. Rick, Ryker and Karissa drew the magic # 7, which was the one assigned to my quilt. I'm so glad that someone got it that seemed to appreciate it :). You can't tell here but it's really quite good size.


Then last night Miss Kendall (who apparently loves belly buttons) was enjoying pregnant Crystal's

Family . . . you gotta love 'em! You can't pick your family, but you can pick . . .

their belly buttons :)
