even more christmas

We had a bunch of people from Brian’s family over this evening. Namely, our niece, his parents, his sister and her family, and his aunt and uncle. It was especially nice to see his sister and her crew–we don’t get to see them very often.

The usual eating, drinking, and merriment occurred. The guys hung out in the bar and played pool most of the evening while the gals sat in the living room and talked.

The kids played Guitar Hero for a bit and put on a magic show (with Jake’s new magic set) right before everyone left.

Alice was a perfect lady all evening. Lizzy, on the other hand, was in the crate. I’ve found it’s easier to keep her in the crate when we have a lot of people over versus actually training her to not jump all over people. Hmpf.
