Christmas Eve 2007

Photos taken Christmas Eve. Greg and Roger worked on Grandpa's present. They took a break in midafternoon for Scott's annual croquet lesson. Then we settled in for dinner and some entertainment followed by the usual Nerts and Dominos games (Scott won both). Sarah joined us a little late and we had an enjoyable time. We had the traditional reading ot the Night Before Christmas. Then we heard Santa's sleigh bells as he delivered presents to other houses in the neighborhood and Sammie and Peyton went straight to bed!

Some of these photos are Greg's and some Roger's, so they are not necessarily in order.
