Christmas Eve 2009

On Christmas Eve the family gathered for dinner. We had prime rib again, which was delicious, but the day after there is no left over turkey -- go figure. This year after the talent show, at Jayson's suggestion, we shared DVDs made by each family. It took about three hours, but for inveterate slide watchers that was nothing. They were most enjoyable. By 8:00, everyone was on the way home for individual Christmas Eve traditions. At our house Maren and Kris read some stories to the boys, who were soon off to bed in their new pajamas and quickly asleep.

Rob, Anna, and Katy

Gavin, Maren, Emily, and Jayson

Finn, Anders, Tucker, Clara, Harry, Lizzy, and Lucy

The dinner

Katy made Anna laugh until she cried

Finn also made his cousins laugh in the talent show

Anders played carols for his talent

Lizzy went for the big finish after her songs

Tucker played, too

The multitalented Tucker also did some magic tricks

Watching the family DVDs

Kris read the Christmas story before bed

That's all for now.

OXO
