The Night Before Christmas.....

.....and all through the house, MANY creatures were stirring..........even a mouse!

We hosted Christmas Eve dinner at our house and were welcomed with Chris, Lisa and the boys. Joey joined the party too but sadly poor Jake (Joey's hubby) was sick and wasn't able to make it. I'm sure he will count his blessing after seeing these pictures! There was A LOT of activity in this house. A LOT!!! But it made everything just perfect and we wouldn't have it any other way.


The cast for the evening:


Mace
I mean seriously......do they get any cuter than this? HE IS ADORABLE!!!


Merrick
The life of the party




Kaitlin
Every present made her smile even bigger



Kellyn
Had more fun giving OUT presents than anything else






Matt
Total character........he just makes me laugh!







Tryg
Always full of life and energy - love this guy!





Chris
Once again - my brother cannot take a normal picture...EVER. See Proof!



Lisa
Can somehow look amazing while nursing BOY #4. HOW????

Me
No introductions needed


Jim
King of "silly"


Joey
The glue that keeps it all together!

The Entertainment



After dinner and everyone had left for the evening...........the girls gathered their cookies and milk together to place by the tree for our certain "friend"







Once the girls were fast asleep, we discovered Jessie (Jake and Joelle's lab that we are dog-sitting for the holidays) gobbled up the cookies and found a soft place to take a post-engorging snooze. Sweet Jessie!






Meanwhile - Chase helped himself into "Santa's workshop" and found a little present of his that was SUPPOSED to be wrapped later that evening for his stocking. I think he knows he's guilty!!!
