Immediately after Trek got put in as bishop of our ward at church, we rushed down to Salem, UT to put on the Sorensen Family Christmas Party (which I was in charge of this year). We had it at my aunt & uncles house because it's pretty much the only place that can hold the entire Sorensen clan in it.
It was fun. We did a fiesta dinner with cafe rio sweet pork, taco meat, & shredded chicken in all sorts of forms like tacos, burritos, bowls, salads, you name it. The toppings were great & the sauces were spectacular. It turned out to be a really delicious group meal together. . . & when I say together, I meant for all 100+ of us.
After dinner we did Gingerbread houses with all the kids which they loved. The adults just chatted while the kids got creative.
Then we played some reindeer games by scooping marshmallows with our "hooves" in 30 seconds.
After that we did a white elephant gift exchange that took well over an hour because there were SO MANY OF US THERE. It was so much fun.
Then we cleaned it all up & headed back home. Canyon was very proud of his gingerbread house.
I know doing these parties is a ton of work (& yes I was pretty stressed out about it), but once it's done you realize how great it is to spend time with all your aunts & uncles & cousins. I love it so much.
