Whip, Bang, Boom, Whoosh, Whirl…it’s over?

All the anticipation, the preparation, the cooking, the decorating, the cleaning, the shopping, the wrapping, the parties, the exhaustion, the… it’s over?? I’m in utter shock.

Here are the pictures to prove that it really did happen and that we did have a great Christmas.

Christmas Eve Brunch at Pa Pa and Grandma Andersons
Including a Bloody Mary bar...


The Chef's hard at work!

Clay Clay so excited for Christmas!

Rich and Clay

Checking out all the gifts...so hard to be patient!

Clay's favorite gift....a HOCKEY stick!

Brooke just wanted to climb on all the boxes.


All I really care about is the bow...

Getting sleepy with Pa Pa!

Down she goes!

Dressed and ready to go to Uncle Dan's for the Christmas Eve Party!

Matching hats!

Greg and Laurie

Climbing the stairs.

Hanging out with Jordan and Carson!
Singing Christmas Carols and waiting for the special guest to arrive...
Santa is all ready to make his big entrance!
Drew was the first to the door...who could it be???
Carlee checking out Santa!
Brooke...who is this guy??


Tyson excited to be on Santa's lap!
Wishing they too could sit on Santa's lap!
Santa FINALLY called Drew's name!
Can't wait to see what gift Santa brought.

I wonder if it's the Creepy Crawler Bug Set that I've asked for a million times?
Wait a second Santa....


This is not what I asked for Santa!!!

Brooke just wants to play with the bag...who cares about the toys!

Sweet Carlee checking out her gift while "baby" watches.

And now it's time for the annual Christmas Eve Washer Tournament...in the garage!


I think Zack was the big winner for the night!

Look at the nice sportsmanship!

Pretty Mandee and Mindee!

Mom was part of the cheering section most of the night.

Hugs!

Nina's 1st time playing and attending this CRAZY event.

Nice form Drew!


Can you say EXHAUSTED!

Brooke trying her best to keep her eyes open...she lost that battle!

Christmas Morning!!!

Santa was Here!

Fun!

The Aftermath!

Rocking the Caterpillar with bedhead!

And after all the new toys she received...she just wanted to play with a spoon!

Next up...Grandma Gregorys!

Yes, Brooke is still in her jammies!

One last picture before we rip open the gifts!

Nina and Jud looking like Santa's Elves!

Grandma helping Brooke open her gifts.


Brooke doing a bit of cleaning!

Drew trying out his Nigh Vision goggles!


And then finally, one more day of Christmas with Grandpa Gregory and Donna.

Would have been a great Father/Daughter picture if Darren wasn't glued to the Football game!

So Tired after all the celebrating!
