Christmas Eve

We've have been busy elves this morning getting ready for our family Christmas Eve get together. There was a house full here this evening, 15 in all.

Around 6:30 this evening, the cell phones began ringing off the hook, the kids got phone calls from Santa just as we were getting ready to exchange gifts. I don't know which one was more surprised Terry or Walter. :) It was funny, once Santa called, all the kids wanted to hurry things along so that they could get home and get into bed so that Santa would make his stop. Very fun.

Miss Kelly served as our guest elf this evening. She did a fantastic job overseeing package distribution. The kids all really had a good time with her.

Terry enjoyed helping her open her gifts. He even followed her instructions, quite well. I think she reminded him on one of his teachers. Which is kind of neat since she is an education major.


Sean stopped by before 9 and visited for a short while before heading back home. He seemed quite pleased with the body pillow that he got for his bed. It will be a nice cushion for him to sleep against. He even got his own surprise phone call from Santa just a few minutes after 9. So much fun.

Walter & Kelly headed out around 10 for midnight services. They both looked terrific when they left.

Christmas Eve Photos

Thanks Mom for sharing the photos - I only was able to take 41 shots myself. Bad angle and too many other photographers in the room.
