Family Christmas

_____Last evening we held our Deluhery Christmas celebration.  Soup, sandwiches and things others brought were enjoyed by all 18 present.  Jenni, Tristin, Mara and Becca were unable to attend at the last minute, when Mara woke up from her nap with a fever.  (Much to everyone disappointment.)  The main gifts were opened first.  (This was the second year we had given money early and each recipient purchased their own gift and brought it wrapped to the party.)                               __Sadie picked shorts for over her dance tights.
 _____Jeff chose a nice warm hat only to discover it contained ear phones too.  
Hil picked head wear too.  A necessity for college kids.   
 Then the annual $5 grab-bag was held. Pictured is David's turn and he is looking over what everyone has so far, to see what he would like to steal.   (Much more strategic teams are developing every year.) 
 ____Teresa has just scratched off a lottery ticket she had with her grab bag gift to discover she had won $20,000.  (And the guilty brother that had found it online, enjoying his trickery.) 
_____  A good time was had by all and the evening wound down with everyone sitting around after dessert and having a good visit.
