A few days before Christmas, and we finally took our picture in front of the tree (we meant to do it at the wine party).
When Chirstmas Eve came, it was snowing outside.
After church, we headed to my brother’s house to exchange gifts.
We love giving gifts to the kids…
And they were very happy with what they received.
A new doll!!!
Amber didn’t want to be held up to put the star on the tree…
So Taylor took care of it.
Getting setup for the family shot.
They thought it would be funny to pretend like we were looking at the tree.
But I made them pose for a real picture.
From there we headed over to Courtney and Dave’s house for some more Christmas Eve fun.
Everyone got PJs from Megan and Peter…
So we all changed into our PJs for the night.
Dave telling me we are going to replicate the “2 bottles of the best scotch” picture.
Presents for everyone!!
Why didn’t my PJs have my name on them?
I wonder if he is any good at flying it yet?
BTW, most of these pictures were taken by Carleigh.
Cousins!!
Forever a Redskins fan is Mark.
If I were taking the pictures of a teenagers room, I doubt they’d be smiling.
But a child behind the camera makes all the difference.
Dave had been saving these bottles just for me.
And the experience…
Was as fun this time…
As it was last time.
Nice hat, Mike.
Because one drink of scotch isn’t enough.
The snow had really accumulated to a good amount.
With this many people, it was time for some group shots.
I’ll spare you all the photos…
Well, maybe not the one with me and two beautiful women.
The men in their PJs.
And the women in their PJs.
Gingerbread martinis for the ladies.
One last group shot before heading home for the night.
Kelli and I spent Christmas Eve night in front of the tree like we always do.
After we woke up the next morning, we headed over to Kristi’s house to start the fun all over again.
Kristi made breakfast for everyone.
Pete stopped by to pick up the kids, so I got a family shot.
We left there and went to Beth’s house for a drink.
Whoever gives these sand gifts, we know what you’re doing you mean person.
A quick family pose before heading out.
We stopped by Kelli’s mother’s house before heading to my parents for dinner.
To end Christmas, after dinner we came back to Kelli’s Mother’s house to watch the video of my father when he was in Wheel of Fortune in 1987.
