Xmas Eve!

After the 'Christmas Story' play @ our church we went over to the Stais' house for a Fondue & Crab Leg dinner!  MAN oh MAN was it GOOD!  "Succulent" was the word we all used to describe the huge chunks of meat that came out of the 2foot long crab legs!!  And the cheesy fondue w/ veges couldn't have been more delicious!! 

Lexi, Shelby & Elsie Anne had fun all over the house, while Shawn & I were able to enjoy Christmas Cheer, Music & Spirits w/ Kiersten & Matt!  The girls were counting to TEN as loud as they could....

...then JUMPing from the ottoman to the couch!  The Stais' were impressed that EA held her own w/ the big girls & really made her own place w/ them.  No longer did she seem like the 'baby' visiting, but a buddy there to play!

We pushed EA until her breaking point and headed home @ 9pm!  Shawn & I finished up wrapping, setting out Santa presents & enjoyed a few more 'spirits'!!

One of the things I will miss the most after Chirstmas are the beautiful cards we've recieved that have brightended up our wall!  I think I'll make an excuse to keep them up a bit longer...at least until the New Year!
