Shane and Mandy were kind enough to have us all over to their place on Christmas Eve! Bryon and Denae had prepared "gag" gifts for each of us, which provided quite a few laughs! Jase especially appreciated his lifetime subscription to an elderly health magazine and I received a $5 McDonald's gift certificate! Jonah about flipped when he received his electric guitar toy from Jr. and Ash enjoyed playing with his monster truck. Later in the evening, after we all stuffed ourselves with pizza, wings, appetizers and drinks, Santa made a surprise visit--allowing us to snap about a million pictures (yeah!). Then we topped the evening off with fireworks in the front yard and children running around on sugar-highs until dark. Overall an amazing night!
