Thanks Alan and all. Always enjoy getting everyone under one roof if not all under the same sky on the trails.

Party went so well, it kinda feels like Christmas is over

Rooftop pool projection for the win

I soooo am in the market for a proper Christmas sweater....fluffy collar with sleighs and mittens to start...

I have to echo Mike's impression that the party went so well, it felt like Christmas was over the next day. What a great time! I want to thank each of you for coming over. Jennifer, the kids, and I had a wonderful time hosting and we really appreciate you for coming over to our home and making it a great time.

Now for the pics (video is slooooooowly uploading, so I'll post that when pics are done.

First, a couple of the house prior to being overrun with Jeeps and Jeep families:







The stockings were hung by the chimney with care... and the fire was on the TV where kids couldn't burn themselves! LOL



I have to admit, the video projected onto the bottom of the pool was my favorite part. It was too cool for school and will inspire many a summer pool party this year! The backyard turned out to be a cool place for everyone to chill and hang out if they weren't in the mood for kiddos. 8)

Stylish Christmas sweaters were all the rage






The boyz hangin out by the grillz.



the girls thought the lifeguard was "dreamy"...



Chris hanging out... diggin' the sweater!



Mike showing everyone how to "work it" on the runway for Christmas... fortunately, his date was attractive enough to take attention away from his sweater and new hair do...





Chirs and Megan made a grand entrace as well, although Chris may be a candidate for "awkward family photos"...

Next Year's Christmas Card...





"let's all step into Christmas TOGETHER!"



What? It's not awkward or anything... why do you ask?

Now for some uncomfortably close head shots...

Bring on the presents!







Ah... the Cecil face when excited. Not a party without it!



AWESOME to have all the families together and having a great time...



(Jonathan still likes Jellybeans...)



Geoff needs LOTS of helpers...

Avis opening goodies... the kids thought it was cool he got "dynamite" for Christmas!!!





Wonder what Bill's opening? 8)



LUCY!!!!!!



Sometimes Mike just creeps me out...



Caleb opening a SWEET gift he didn't get to keep. : (

More present opening!





Kid's favorite gift of the night? Bubble Wrap!



Russ is a happy camper!

I don't even know where to begin with this one, but it's safe to say Caleb may not invite Daniel on any more camping trips up to the lake.



Scoot a little closer, honey...



Did someone say Jellybean?!?!?!? yeah.



and... Mike finally found a set. 8)





So, let me end with a big thank you to everyone who showed up and an even bigger thank you to my wonderful wife Jennifer for putting up with us, and an additional thank you to Shanda who made these really cool Jeep goodie bags for the kids, plus provided the baby-sitter contact (her neice) who did a fantatic job with the kiddos.

All in all, Merry Christmas to all to to all a good night!

Here are several little videos from the night. If you are interested in the full DVD of all the video and all the pictures and everyone opening presents then PM me and I'll make you a copy!
