Backing up to Christmas Eve photos..

The Girls...

The teenagers!!

Greg takes time out to model his looks;

I mean loot!

Kevin takes his time...

Kim ALWAYS has time to stop

and smile for the camera!

The boys wait with baited breath...

Potato Soup and Taco Soup!

The BOYS!!!!!!

As has been our family tradition for MANY years now {even before we moved} we invite friends and family over for Soup and Sneaky Santa.

Unfortunately our group was smaller than last years group... sickness, some traveling out of town/continental US... but we managed to have a really fun time!

Last year we made it a pj party... this year it was the same! I have LOVED my sock monkey pj's... McSweetie not so much. I guess I shall retire them until next year or the next really good cold snap!

Cannot decide when I want to take down the

Christmas Decorations...

How long do you leave your out?

I see on FB some of you have already packed it up...

What to do??!!......
