Our Annual Duris Family Christmas Party!!

One of my favorite things about the Christmas Season is getting together with not only my immediate family but, getting to see our entire extended family as well.  This year was no different everyone seemed to have a great time visiting with one another.  Santa once again surprised the kids and they were soaking in every moment of it :)

A few pictures before we left for the party!!!

 Santa telling the boys some last minute tips before he left.

 1. He wanted them to leave him cookies & milk.

2. He wanted carrots for the reindeers.

3. If they think they hear him at night on Christmas Eve to stay in bed or it will scare him away.

Then he was on his way.. He is a busy man this time of year!
