Cleaver Christmas Party 2009

The Monday before Christmas we had a Cleaver Christmas dinner and party at our house.

It was wall to wall people. 54 to be exact.

Santa made his appearance with gifts for all the children under 10 years old.

Some were happy to sit on Santa's lap and some were not.

We were glad to have Tiffany and Grayson with us. Tiffany was past her due date with having her baby, but was brave enough to come to our gathering.

Here are some of the Piecuch guys hanging out on the couch.

Brother and sister managed to coordinate their colors.

We were so glad Nicole and Ryan could join us for a few days, even though they couldn't be with us for Christmas.

Hallie is my best friend. Her and her family live downstairs in our basement apartment.

Here is Hallie and her Dad Preston.

What a crowd!

There was barely room to walk around at times.

Valista and Wilma hanging out.

I like this couple shot of Chad and Laura.

Jill with her granddaughter.

Jill with three of her grandkids.

Suzanne enjoyed holding baby Shawn all evening.

Brody with his Mom Stephanie.

WOW! 54 people! The family sure is growing (even with the missing Wheelers) Can't believe how big everyone's kids are getting! My mom mentioned that Ronnie and Valista had recently had a baby, is that who Suzanne is holding? Always love to see all the fun white elephant gifts!
