Christmas Eve

for Christmas Eve we had all the families over for dinner. we love the families! we always have fun together. the weather was pretty crazy as everyone was arriving, but they all still came. we had good food (thanks for contributing everyone), guitar hero 3, and christmas charades. i guess the teams were uneven or something...or so the losing team said. then our fire alarms went off for about five minutes, signaling the end of the party. it was very annoying. dane had to run to walgreens and buy new batteries. we changed all of them. it's nice to know our fire alarm system won't let us slack. they will let us know when one battery is low. i'll just apologize now that some pictures aren't the most flattering. most are action shots.
