Twas the Night Before Christmas . . .

. . . and all through the Darby house . . .

. . . lots of little creatures were stirring.

The Christmas Eve festivities take place at Clint's parents' house, and we always have more food and presents than we can handle. I love that Mimi is old enough to really play with her cousins JR and Olivia. They sang and danced and ate and ran and ran and yelled and ran. Whew. By the way, doesn't JR look quite dashing in his fancy tie? He told his mom that he just had to have a tie for Christmas Eve dinner. So handsome.

And I am not very good at taking photos in low light, so I had to get a better one of Olivia.

Mack was on duty in case things got out of hand.

But as soon as he went on break, everyone had to pass him around and kiss those fat cheeks.

But Uncle Jeff seemed to bore him the most.

See what I mean? Geez.
Don't you know they totally called each other and planned the purple dress and black cardigan outfits? Mimi noticed that she had a pile of presents and soon realized that although Santa already came to her house that wasn't the end of the presents. What a lucky girl.
Oh my, and someone got a "Woody-Buzz" present . . . but to her dismay, it wasn't hers! Sweet JR let her play with it all night though.
I'm sure someone just burped or tooted or something really cool like that.

And later in the night (much, much later) we finally put on our jommers and had to go to sleep before Santa showed up in Memphis. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
