Christmas Gathering At The Petrie's

Everyone was invited to this holiday gathering even Santa
Claus - who showed no doubt! The kids - of all ages - had a
great time and the little one's all received a toy.
Our Fourth Christmas Together
It's hard to believe it's only been 3 1/2 years - time really
does fly when you are having fun.
The Petrie Children Sit With Santa
Santa Claus made a rare before-Christmas appearance
and all the little ones LOVED it!
Braving the Traffic
Kate's great friend Deborah Sedghi drove
down from L.A. to join the festivities.  It was
such a treat to have her at the party!
All Smiles For Santa!
Only 2 more "sleeps" until Christmas and
Gracie and Erle are all smiles - there's no
"naughty" here!
Billy and His Little Girl
Bill Cooper enjoys a plate of food with his
gorgeous daughter Sophia. We were lucky to
see them both on Saturday and Christmas!
Erle and His Little Buddy
Unfortunately, due to a cold we didn't get to
see the little guy much, but it was fun to see
Graham while we were there.
Brent With The Ladies
Brent had a great time with his new girl
friends: Gracie, Pia and Amanda and
Sophia Cooper. We had so much fun with
the kids - it was great!
We've Been Good This Year...We Promise!
Kate and friend Deborah Sedghi took the opportunity to put
in one last good word with the man in red before the big
day!
More Patient Than The Grown-ups
We were all very impressed with how well-behaved and
patient everyone was as Santa doled out the goodies. It
was great fun!
Santa With His Mrs. Claus
Seeing as the "Uncle Russell" Santa was
almost recognized last year, we went
outside the regular fold for this year's
festivities.
Chums
Kate and Dr. Novak strike a pose.
Getting Lots of Love
Pippin got lots of attention at this year's party
- not just from his own cousins but from the
Garces girls as well (see right.)
