Kemmerlin's kid-friendly drop-in party

What a difference a couple of years makes! Who would have thought Derek and I would have had a party that entertained 7 kids under the age of 4 AND almost 20 adults? Surely not me. But...we had LOADS of fun! We felt like we hadn't seen some of our dearest friends since Aidan was born and so we invited a handful of folks over for dinner and drinks…kids and all. It was a good time for the both the kids and adults. The older kids loved the 4 babies…all born in July or August…just as much as they loved riding Hatcher’s 4-wheeler around the house. The boy’s new fisher-price nativity scene was also big fun for everyone (thanks Lisa!).

With the season upon us, we were glad we could spend some time together. It was great to see you all and catch up. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Also, a big thank you to everyone who braved the not very Christmas-like pouring rain, lightening and thunderstorms to come and hang out.
