Christmas Eve - A family gathering

Heather and Kyle invited all the Johansens to their house for a Christmas Eve gathering.  Ruby started the day with a swollen knee, so she started her day with a trip to the doctor.  (On Christmas Day we learned that Ruby has Lymes so she is being medicated for it now.)

When a girl feels bad on Christmas Eve, she needs her Grandma.

Stella was dressed in a pretty black frock.

Then a special visit from Santa Claus was a big surprise for all.

Santa came to see if there were good boys and girls at this house.

Ruby wasn't too sure about Santa

Owen was very interested in Santa and Ruby decided she could sit on his knee.

Santa talked Lora into sitting on his lap (winky-winky) and Anders too.

Owen had lots to say to old Santa

It was a fun evening of family and food and laughing and games and fun.
