The annual Krueger Christmas was held at Uncle Kerry and Kathy's house in Sasche and their house is beautifully decorated. Kiki brought a cake from Society Bakery and if you look closely at the picture, it looks like the icing is messed up but the icing was perfect until Beck tasted it...yummm, finger-lickin' good!
On the way home, Brent and I tried to count how many slices of cake Beck "had" and I say "had" because he never actually ate the cake...he only ate the icing from each slice that was cut for him!
The newest member of the Justice family, Canon, must be a super happy baby because I never heard a peep out of him.
The little ones (Beck, Kinsey, Haylee and Jackson) enjoyed eating at the kiddie table...
We are gearing up for the big White Elephant gift exchange! Each person draws a number and the person with number one picks a gift then the person with number two can either steal the gift from number one or pick a new gift, etc. The gift cannot be stolen once it's been stolen three times. The ultimate number to have is a high number such as 18 which was my number. I was really happy because I could steal from almost anybody! We all really enjoy playing this game!
Uncle Bill opened the gift we brought which was an air hockey game and Jan opened a snowman lunch box filled with fruit.
I really loved Brent's gift (Dallas Cowboy hat) and Kinsey did too! However, it was stolen from him by Uncle Kerry. I think that hat looks great on Brent!
Sweet Aunt Stevie got a Connect 4 game...
This was a funny moment of the evening...Jan's snowman lunch box was stolen so she opened the gift that she brought LAST YEAR (a tiny toilet)!!! Ha! We better watch out because she might bring it back next year.
I'm pretty sure Uncle Kerry will enjoy the Dallas Cowboys hat way more than Brent. Will Brad enjoy the Christmas cook book? And, will Krysti wear the pajama jeans? I foresee two gifts making an appearance next year...
I ended up stealing the air hockey game and poor Uncle Bill ended up getting a Christmas plate. And, Kiki got the BEST gift that was there...scratch off lottery tickets! Normally, most people don't win much with these but after Brent scratched off all of them, she ended up winning $50!!! Wow!
We think the game is over until Kiki makes a big announcement...Blake was the first person to open a gift and he got two boxes of coal. Ha! Well, guess what? The joke is on us because she told him to look closely in one of the boxes and there was a $20 bill! Score!!!
Beck has been SO emotional lately. I have no idea what is up with the many melt-downs he's been having but Kathy was so sweet to console him! And, Kinsey was very content snagging food from where ever she could find it.
In the pictures below, we see Beck with another slice of cake, another melt-down and something that Daddy likes to do to him...pull his pants up like an old man! Ha!
The evening ended with Uncle Kerry playing his guitar and singing Christmas songs to the kids, Chelsea creating funny pictures of her husband and sister with an iPhone app and a few of us talking about who's not getting lucky tonight. It rained the entire evening but we still had so much fun!
Merry Christmas!!!
