The Katinas Christmas Party Snapshots

katinas-1
This is a photo of the whole gang. We are so blessed with awesome wives and amazing kids.

Each family had to decorate their own “Daddy Christmas tree. These are the results. However, the wives and kids couldn’t decide on a winner. Being the competitive guys that we are, we’d like to know who think the best “Daddy Tree” is. (From Left to Right- Jesse, John, James, Cousin Charley, Joe, and Sam). Let us know by leaving a comment.

This is always the kids favorite part of the night… opening gifts.

    Great pics guys!
    it’s a hard choice to make on the best daddy christmas tree, but I would have to say the star over Jesse’s head takes it! that’s actually a great family idea! hilarious!

    blessings and peace!

    James-have one of the other bros take video of you :) THat was a special treat, to see all of you on video!

    Re: Winner: I can’t figure out what is on Jesse, although the star is cool! Sammy just scares me :) Joe just looks odd, but still very creative :)

    Drum-roll please…..

    Winner is….James (very creative! the kiddos went all out, love it!)
    Second runner up….John!

    I bet that was a fun thing to do. I would have to say James the mask looks likes a snowman face only things you are missing is the carrot nose and the corn pipe. But the main thing about christmas is family and the true understanding of it. God Bless you guys I am always praying for safe travelings for my cuzins. The Houston family wish you all a “Happy New Year”

  • James

    What can I say, my kids and wife were determined to transform me, completely. Funny thing is, my 2 yr old daughter thought I looked better that way.

  • Chrissy K.

    His wife couldn’t agree more with our 2 year old…..

  • Lizzerd

    Hey, Merry Christmas Chrissy and well, not official yet, but Happy New Year! I’m not sure if I ever mentiond, but I’ve got a teenage neice who loved ZOEgirl…I’m not sure where she stands in a relationship with God but she listens to some Christian music and I know she loved the music of ZOEgirl :)

    Love the comments J-man and Chrissy, too funny! Honestly, in the pic, James reminded me of Jacob Marley :) James-maybe you should come out on stage that way next Christmas :)

  • Flolo

    First of all thanks for sharing these great pics. I love Christmas and to see so much joy in your home is priceless. Okay, here’s the thing I especially like how each family is color coordinated. I totally get it & it reminds me of the airport / mall parking garage where they put colors and section numbers on a pole to help you locate your car later. Particularly useful when it’s been a long day.
    “Daddy Tree” I can’t give it to Charlie because he looks more like Baby New Year than a tree. Sam – “A” for effort, you are the strong one haa, I gotta give it to James- because his face is totally covered, coulda been anybody hidden under there. Classic tree disguise. Love you guys!
    Happy 2009! GOD Bless you all

  • Jackson

    hay its jackson here, i am James’ oldest son. Thanks for all of the input, I’d like to think that I had a little bit to do with the making of the master piece. Peace and a happy new year.

  • Flolo

    Momma votes for the one with the star. Go daddy tree Jesse.

  • Joe

    I gotta give it to myself. Any tree with the “Steeler Nation” adorning it would win anywhere. Go Steelers! Happy New Year everyone. 2009, Here we come!

    Peace!

  • Lizzerd

    Did any of you think comments would continue on this long when you first posted this? :)

    Joe, yes-will agree…I support the Steeler look! I still say James…sorry :)

    I’d still love to know what those black things are on Jesse…pom-poms? Really, what are those?

  • James

    I’m not so sure he knows what they are.LOL

  • Flolo

    @ Joe,
    Thou shall not Steeler my brotha.

  • Ruth

    Kia Ora and Happy New Year from New Zealand!! Great to see all the pics and how you spend your holidays. I have to say that Jessie looks great and wins the Daddy tree – it’s the star that does it! I hope you guys had an awesome christmas, and time with family after all the concerts.
    I have your latest “Still” cd and love it! Keep singing and sharing your talent with the world…You really will have to come to Wellington again!!
    Blessings to you. Happy 2009!

  • Liz

    I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Years!! Enjoy your first day of 2009..!!

  • Lizzerd

    Hey Friends, Kuzins and to all your families/loved ones….

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I pray blessings over each of you for 2009!!! There are good things to come in 2009, I do believe this! Praying it and believing for it for each person!!!

    I’m going to get my preach on for a sec and say…
    –Don’t ever give up, NOTHING is impossible with God!(I know sometimes it may seem impossible, but nothing is impossible with God. He’s the God of possibility!) Don’t lose hope.

    Be Blessed!
