Another Monday, Another Christmas Party (with Babies)

Yes, Christmas is only TWO days away now. And based on past experience, most people have a lot more to do than read other people's blogs. January's for catching up, after all. So some of my readers may not see this until 2010 has already been rung in.

But for those of you have all your presents wrapped, all cards mailed, all holiday treats prepared, and are still browsing blogs, allow me to offer up one more Christmas offering to YOU!

Our final "scheduled" pre-Christmas social function was once again hosted at Matt and Jennifer's house. A great place for get-togethers of any kind, and their home was suitably decorated.
Tonight's special guests are long-time friends Jeff and Gail. Actually, they're more like family than friends.

Santa Jeff will bring little Claire anything she wants for Christmas. Even two front teeth, probably.

Santa's helper Gail wishes she could take Claire back to the North Pole with her.
Stephen says Brianna is another of Santa's little helpers. She could help by going to bed as early as Claire. : )

Matt offers Claire a drink. No, it doesn't have anything it it!

Great Grands Jack and Thelma already have everything they want for Christmas. And so do the rest of us! I think you know what I mean.

Claire (L) and Brianna (R) cherish every opportunity to get together. Even if they do have to have chaperones. The president doesn't have this many bodyguards!

"So, Cuz, what'd you ask Santa to bring you?"

"Well, these little musical books will do until the real presents come out."

Where these babies go, happiness follows.

By the time Gail and Jeff's baby gifts are brought out, Claire has gone to dreamland, so Mom Jennifer opens the Dolphin Tub Toy as her proxy. I think that's what it is.

Brianna is thrilled with her pair of Blue Elephants. "Just look," she says. "Ears, trunk, tail-- everything's mouth-sized!" (Just be glad this party wasn't at your house, Bri, or you might be in bed by now)

Amanda knows that Gail tried to find some Red elephants (her Alabama Crimson Tide will play for the national championship soon)!
Just in case we don't get to see you in person, Judy and I would like to wish you all
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

And Brianna adds,
God bless us, every one!
