Christmas Eve

What a great Christmas Eve, forty one of the family together to celebrate!  Cathy, Bob and myself were on the balcony taking pictures and Mik had not arrived yet.

The cousin's picture at Christmas and Easter is always special.

There is so much great food each year, there are some really good cooks in this family.

Dan and Robin provide turkey, ham and the trimmings every year and it was excellent as always!

This is the part the kids were waiting for, Tor hopped right up on Santa's lap and told him he wanted a basketball.

Santa really grilled Rielee about if she had been good this year and how the other kids had done.

The younger generation was having a great time all evening.

Posted on the door were this year's annual 2015 Trivia contest, David got all thirty of the questions right.

After the presents were opened it was time for family pictures in front of the tree, it was sure nice having Barry and Mona there this year.

James and Tierney both included Ainslee in their picture since she couldn't come.

During the gift exchange Tor played catch with James several times.  He can throw pretty good, occasionally one doesn't go where he planned but for the most part he was really accurate and fun to watch.

Here I am with the best present I have ever gotten!  It was a very nice evening, I hope you had a great Christmas Eve!
