I must say, our parents taught us how to throw a party! With the cooking skills that Brock inherited from his parents and the hospitality skills I acquired from my mom, we throw great parties. We love it, too!
Last night, we had a Christmas party at our house. We had some really good food, of course. Brock made his famous turkey all over again. He also made a gumbo. I made my mother-in-law's famous cornbread dressing and pudding made from scratch. Plus, everyone brought a side dish or dessert to add to the mix. All 22 of us ate to our hearts' content.
Then, we had a white elephant gift exchange. It was funny! Some of the popular gifts were incredible hulk gloves, an old ipod, and a lion's head. I don't know who won the lion's head, but I discovered that they'd placed it in our bath tub!
After that, Brock did some incredible magic tricks. They were a hit! After that, Brock told everyone about a collection we were going to take for a family in need. (More about that on another post.) Then, we had dessert, and it was time to go home.

Sounds like a BLAST!!! Wish I could've been there:)
sure do miss y'all. expecially this time of year. we usually get to see y'all around the holidays but i guess not this year. unless y'all are coming to deridder? at least we got to see ya this summer. let us know if you'll be at brock's parents anytime soon. if y'all have anytime off we are going skiing at wolf creek after christmas. just brian, me, mattie-don't underestimate her she's hardcore straight down all the way:), brian's dad, his uncle william and his friend. let us knwo. we leave the 26th and ski the 28,29,30, and leave on the 31st!
We are going to be in DeRidder but only for Christmas day and the day after. Then, we have to go to Illinois and Virginia for shows. Sorry we cannot get together. We miss ya'll too!
sounds like a great party. and i have to say that you couldn't be more right about brock's cooking and your hospitality. that's a combination that's impossible to combat. oh yeah, you can go see pics of Carson Matthew on my myspace. you don't have to have an accout to look at them i don't think. nett has some on her space too. watch the videos, they're hilarious. www.myspace.com/mattcaler
