Christmas (Eve) Part 2

As is our tradition,
we gathered with the Woods family
on Christmas Eve
for food, family and fun.

Everyone was there and in festive form!

Except for the Drabenstotts,
minus one
(Matt is "on the other side of the Earth,"
aka South Africa, on a mission)

 Chelsea and I spent a little quality time before dinner

A fine setting for 
Dad's horseradish-encrusted beef tenderloin,
cheesy potatoes, and sautéed green beans

Cheers!

After dinner,
we gathered to open presents around the tree

Weston and I were thrilled with our new toys,
but not as thrilled as Cousin Vince with his Roos t-shirt.

There was something about a Roo-hop here.
Must have to be a UMKC grad to know...

After more merriment
(that's me and Jack over Dad's shoulders),
we heard Santa's sleigh bells and a "ho-ho-ho" from outside
We booked it into our PJ's,
made everyone promise they were going to leave so Santa didn't skip us,
and went straight to bed.


Can you believe TOMORROW is Christmas???
