'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Christmas Eve this year was fun- and crazy! We had a big dinner and get-together at our house. The guests consisted of the 3 of us, plus my parents, my sister, my brother, his wife, and their baby Summer, Larry's sister Heather, Her husband and 3 kids. It was definately a houseful- especially after finding everyone a place to sleep! It made the evening more fun though, with a houseful of excited kids! They even saw Rudolph's red nose glowing in the distance! We let the kids open one present for Christmas Eve. Larry got concerned because Bryton took a real liking to the dress-up doll that Summer opened. Thank goodness he turned his attention to his new fire truck after we showed him how it worked! Summer just wanted to play with everthing that anyone else was playing with. When Bryton would start playing with a toy she would grab it from him and say "share!" I guess she thinks that sharing means you have to give your toy to her! It was a fun evening with family!Ryan juggling oranges- Don't ask me how this became a part of Christmas Eve!
