Here is a run down of the night: 1. Get dressed (which is always an adventure) and head over to Grandma & Grandpa Wises for
the Party of the year.
the Party of the year.
2. Arrive, mingle and get kissed (500 times on the cheek by everyone, as you struggle to remember their name and if they happen to be related to you or are just a long time "friend of the family").
3. The phone rings. It's SANTA.
(If you'd like a complete over view click on last years rundown ).
Fourth Generation of Hallway runners!
4. run down the hallway as pots and pans are banging in your ear, run outside and see if you can see Santa and his reindeer's flying away.
5. Go back inside to see what Santa has left for you. (Princess for Ella, and a robot dog for Katie)
Santa was kind to these three. GPS's all around!
Meanwhile... Carter was enjoying his first Christmas eve. The look on his face is proof enough.
(in the last picture he is falling asleep on aunt Karen's lap)
6. The last (and most anticipated) activity is when we gather around the living room for the talent portion of the night.
This year included Grandma and her friend dancing and singing. It was Priceless.
(I got a video of it, but it is not uploading. Oh well, just use your imagination).
7. Say our "good-byes" and head on home where we anxiously
await Santa's arrival on our rooftop!!
