We visited Santa a couple times this year. Once with cousins in Seattle and twice in Portland. No need for a story...just look at the pictures.
Chris and I were determined to host Christmas this year...which meant we'd really have to push ourselves to finish (or at least, be finished enough to party). We definitely went right to the last minute...as my mom was telling me to "put the paint brush down", 10 minutes before our family was to arrive!
Amazing enough, with a mad dash of picking up tools, paint, trim, and whatever else was lying around, we managed to shove everything in the garage-shut the door-and enjoy a wonderful Christmas Eve with family and friends.
We shared Christmas Eve with my sister's family, my brother-in-law's family, Tony, my mom, and Chris' parents. It was the perfect mix of people and we had a great time sharing stories over dinner (soup and cold cuts) and watching the kids run around and play. The kids got to open a couple gifts which they loved. Everyone got new PJ's, a snow globe, and some sort of vehicle. Cohen has a blast, but was up pretty late. By 8pm he was falling over and laying on the ground...he actually had to start crawling instead of walking because he couldn't keep his balance. (it's tough try to keep up with the 2 & 3 year olds.

All we can say is "Thank You" Dick and Sue!!! A great time was had by all...and thanks to Chris and Dick who arrived 2 hours early to volunteer so we could all roll, bake and decorate to our hearts content!
This year Sue invited my mom, sister, Tony, O and E. It was so much fun watching the kids get into the festivities. I think O may have eaten and licked her weight in cookies and frosting. Aunt Melissa had to teach O the "no licking the knife" rule which I'm sure I didn't catch soon enough :) ha, ha
Enjoy the pictures!
