Christmas Eve

We had a great Christmas Eve, I counted 41 people, most of them family!
Of course, there was lots of good treats to tide us over until Santa arrived.  Not shown is the turkey in the kitchen.
The kids are all growing up, but we do have some young ones so the tradition will continue.
Harper opened the door for Santa and hopped right up on his lap.  She told him what she wanted for Christmas and whether her family had been naughty or nice.
John Patrik got a hold of Santa's beard and put up a real fight when they tried to get him to let go, I thought the beard might come off for a minute.
After the kids were all done, it was time for the adult gift exchange.  I got number 16 and I ended up with a Staple Gun which is something I needed.
This is what it looked like after the gift exchange was over.  After a few more snacks, we headed home.
