Christmas Eve at the in-laws

This had to be one of the best Christmas Eve's yet! My father-in-law was very, VERY tipsy and quite entertaining for all to see. I had to take a picture of him telling us a story about his other YOUNGER drunken days. We were all in stitches even the kids.



See... we don't normally see Papa that way. We all started trying wines and I must say wine isn't for me so I slowly had 1 glass, my dad, my father-in-law and one of my brother-in-laws were really trying the different wines. I don't even remember how many empty bottles there were as we were packing up and heading out!

Anywho...xmas eve at the in-laws is like waking up xmas morning!! Here are a few pics from that evening. It was GREAT!

This is the kids tree:

Here are a few pics of the kids opening gifts and stockings:












PT was fascinated by the three dogs. She was looking out the door at Wally-my brother-in-laws cocker-spaniel.


Then another one of my in-laws has a new dog. PT is all about a dog she she quickly warmed up to the owner of Wally to see this little itty bitty puppy...



All in all it was A GREAT evening filled with family and fun. I am so lucky to have my dad here again this year and my sister and PT as well!!

Hey Jo!! Every year it is that way. They go way out for their grandkids and their kids and spouses. With 10 grandkids-there is not much sitting room xmas eve!!! The kids had a great time as always got lots that they were wanting and walk away with so many things. I must say Sharon is a huge bargain shopper so some things were super after xmas deals from the previous year-mostly clothes. Which I totally appreciate her getting!!!!
By the way Happy Belated Bday!! Hope it was a GREAT day! Been super busy and consumed with family health issues so please forgive me. By the way, we are turning 21 this year, right?
