Christmas Eve

 Christmas Eve at the the Uhlenkott's.

Michelle got James and I matching Seahawk sweaters so we wore them this evening.  Dan and Robin had provided a turkey dinner which was excellent and lots of people brought their favorite dishes so there was lots of good food to eat.

Santa arrived at 6 and Kenny went right over and High fived him.

Josie with Santa as Emmy takes their picture.

Hattie only lasted a few seconds on Santa's lap.  On the table is part of the great food, for some reason I forgot to take a picture of the table.

Kenny waiting her turn with Santa.

I think the candy canes Santa was giving them were a big hit.

I had a great time watching Rory tonight she is really cute.

This is during the White Elephant gift exchange and Bob's brother Jack is just opening the gift he chose.  He didn't have it long as it was stolen several minutes later and he had to pick again.  We have not entered it for several years so we left shortly after it started.

Christmas Eve at the Gourde's

After dropping Vera off at home James and I went up to Gabe and Des's to spend a little time at their party.

Grandpa David knows how to entertain Hattie.

Their gift exchange was just starting when we got there.

Desiree had a really cute Christmas village set up.

I remembered to take a picture of the table up here.  The only problem was I was too full to do any thing but sample a couple of my favorites.

In this picture you can see one of the games set up for later.

Desiree had everything decorated up very nicely.

Here is a short video of the end of a game Dianne made.  Prizes, money, scratch off lottery tickets etc. are wrapped in pieces of cling film, some short and some long.  The ball was about 8 inches in diameter when they started and in the center was a small box with the grand prize.  After the game started the next person in line had to roll a pair with dice to get their turn.  After that game was done James and I headed to our house and Mik and Michelle followed shortly.  It was a busy evening but I sure had a good time.
