manwaring family progressive snacking

the weekend before christmas we did our manwaring family progressive snacking. i really love this tradition!

this year we were lucky to have the angeles family (kevin's sister, rosanne) join in the fun! we hope we didn't overwhelm them too much. it was fun to have them visiting for the weekend. natalie also was home from slc so we loved having her as well.

justin's house was first. rosanne and her family made the trek to blackfoot with us. we enjoyed a mighty filling spread at their house. multiple types of cheese, crackers, and meat. plus lots of little extras. it was yummy!

then it was off to jarom's for bbq chicken sandwiches and lots of little extras as well. i know, this is some kind of "snacking" huh. :)

next stop was benjamin's for homemade chicken noodle soup.

then it was off to my house where all the overly full bellies could hardly manage to eat anything. good thing I was only serving a layered chip dip and margaritas.

we also had a pinata for the kids to bash in the basement. no pictures, but they really enjoyed. madalyn helped me pick the little donkey pinata out at the store and was DEVASTATED when people knocked his head off with a stick. poor girl!

after my house we headed to my parents for a cookie/hot drink spread and had our christmas nativity.

it was a great night!
