Morris Family Christmas Party

Tucker's mom's family hosts a Christmas party every year. This is an enormous family including so many grandkids and great-grandkids that we have lost count. I think Roman and Capri were great-grandkids number 51 and 52 and that was four years ago! So where do you put all of those people? Uncle Fred's house of course! It is the favorite for many reasons including the pool and awesome water-slide and Sue's incredible food, but my kids especially love the animals. They were pretty excited to go and here they are getting ready...
Capri had sponge curlers put in 2 nights before and her hair was still curly...I think she liked it.
Roman looking oh so handsome.
Karoline with Grammy as happy as can be-my favorite little Santa girl!
Roman and Capri were in heaven playing with their cousins, the big kids, and we rarely saw them that night!
The Trophy Room:
Fred deserves his own post, but this is about Christmas and so it will have to wait for another day. In a nutshell, Fred has been to almost every country on earth, literally, photographing, exploring, and hunting different animals. He even has his own wing at the B Museum down at the Y. My kids, however, don't have to go to the museum, they get to go to his house...
They cuddle with the lions:
They pet the dikers:
And dominate the crocodile!
Funny story. Tucker took Karoline in and the first animal you see staring at you is a 300 lb lion. This thing is enormous with his mouth wide open, fangs nice and sharp. Karoline flinched in fright and that was going to end her tour of the trophy room. Don't worry, she was plenty happy shortly after:
Before heading home, we said goodbye to Fred's reindeer:
