Christmas #3 - Echo Valley

Every year the extended Coppola family has a big Christmas celebration at Echo Valley Golf and Country Club. We all get dressed up and enjoy the huge buffet of food and free-flowing drinks. This was the first year we had gone with Carter and it was quite a bit different. Carter just ran around the room, under tables, and even into the wait station chasing Joey and all of the other cousins all night long. When Santa arrived, we thought we'd give this whole Santa thing one more try. Nope. Carter still does not like Santa. Even if he is sitting with his mom on Santa's lap. Even if Santa bribes him with a flying monkey. Even if Joey is standing right there with him. No way is Carter going to warm up to the jolly ol' guy. Despite the Santa experience, it was a really fun night! And the funniest part was that Kyle and Cary were dressed EXACTLY alike... same striped shirt, identical khaki pants, same annoyed looks on their faces as they saw each other. Ahhh...the memories!
