Allison and parents were first to arrive around 11:45. I was still in my 'jams but that was okay -- it was still early.
Kyle had me take some family pictures for their Christmas card, they had lunch, and Allie went down for a nap. It was nice to have Kyle and Terra come early and help out.

Mike was next to arrive, 1:30. He didn't want to miss the Seahawks game -- which, as it turned out, wouldn't have been such a bad idea. I was still in my 'jams but working hard at getting a shower and dressed.

At 2:30 Jacob and his roommate, Rob, arrived and joined Bob and Mike for the game -- I'm glad to report that I was now not in my 'jams.
By 3pm everyone was arriving: Sandra and Chad, Bart, Shelley and Grandma Marie, Tracy and Mikayla, and Grandma Ona. Total: 17
By this time Allison was up, I was dressed, and we all had a great time eating delicious food brought by everyone and just being thankful we were all together. As usual, dessert was magnificent -- Aunt Shelley did it again!

All too soon, we all got tuckered out and begin to leave. Allison got in her 'jams and Grandma's black socks (Oh, dear! There's a funny story behind those black socks) and was soon on her way home to go night, night.
Chad and Sandra were the night owls and stayed on until midnight -- I wonder if they made it to the sales the next morning?
Grandma Hutchison was soon back in her 'jams and off to bed with Grandpa Hutchison. They were both thankful for such a wonderful family.
