Here we are once again celebrating Christmas Eve. Everyone was there, and a few extras.

JR loves to make goofy faces and here's one of her better ones.

Jess smiling proudly with their finished house.
Cass and Ty with their finished house.
Mom smiling happily because no fights had broken out. No fight ever did, we actually had quite a fun evening together.
Della and her finished house. For some crazy reason she misspelled Santa and put Sammy. Crazy Della, gingerbread houses are for jolly old elves not evil entities.
Handsome Angelo who is growing up too fast.
Deb and JR. 
Doug who has missed the party for several years was finally here again to experience the festivities.
Jess's friend Veronica.
Donna who was a camera happy fool.
My best friend and her two children. They always attend our family Christmas Eve party every year because they are like part of our family. Plus the kids had to give Della a run for her money on the gingerbread house.
