Christmas Eve

We did our annual Christmas Eve celebration with the Poort family starting with paninis and onion soup, followed by some of the best Christmas cookies I have ever had, and capped with round after round of presents. With 18 of us now, that is a big feat! Lucy, you can have as many cookies as you want tonight as long as you stay away from those peanut butter chocolate balls that Auntie Kelly made (to leave more for me)...

Owen and Bailey chill on the floor...

Kelly is like the Pied Piper...all kids flock to her

And the best gift of 2009...
