Family Christmas Dinner

We had our big family celebration on the 26th...Grampy drove into town and the Hutches came over that afternoon.  Mimi and Sean fixed a wonderful meal while I got a few hours of sleep after working a horrendous Christmas night at work.  (Seriously, none of our patients got the memo this year that it was Christmas and we are supposed to be slow for the holidays.  All of us had gotten free dinner from the hospital that night at 1900 and literally didn't get a chance to sit down to eat it until about 0200...by that time it had all gone bad and we threw everything away.  That pretty much sums up our night!)  Anyway, I digress.  

Mimi brought a fun party game about Christmas movie trivia that included a prize...movie tickets went to the winning team of Tay Tay & Aunt Debbie!  (Let me just say that Scot & I took second place, with him getting only ONE of our 25 answers.)


 Davis being silly with Grampy stuck outside in the cold.
 Tyler & Kelsie Rae, just back from their semester in Dublin!
 Mom and me
 Sisters!
 Cousins (+ Tyler)
 The boys getting ready to pounce on an unsuspecting Grampy!

 These boys sure missed their Rae Rae!

 Our first-annual White Elephant gift exchange.  Tyler got a fake burrito, Chipotle gift card & 
a reindeer that poops candy.  It was a big hit!
 Sean opening his gift.  Notice that Deb kind of hid her gift (Starbucks gift card) so people would 
forget & not steal it.  Nice strategy, Deb!
Tyler "loading" his reindeer.  He didn't waste any time getting that thing ready.
