A Very Merry Christmas

I know that I am super late posting these Christmas pictures, but let me explain. See, we have had a virus on our computer and had to wipe it clean and start all over again. So, I just barely got my computer back. We had a wonderful Christmas at our house and got to see lots of family too. On Christmas Eve we got to go to my Grandma Hess' house and sit on Santa's lap. Emmi had a hard time with Santa this year as you can see, but the boys loved him!This is a cute shot of while we were waiting for Santa. Left to right, my brother-in-law Rob (I wish he wasn't so hidden), Nephew Tanner, Sam, my sis Erin, and Keaton.All of my Grandma Hess' 10 Great Grandchildren were there Christmas Eve. We were lucky to get them all to sit still for a minute. Left to right: Lauren (Jeff and Ab), Brightyn and baby Dax (Katie and Donovan's), Carson (Nate and Shelby's), Halley (Katie and Donovan's), Zach (Nate and Shelby's), Tanner (Jeff and Abby's) and Sam, Keaton and Emmi (Mine).Here we are listening to Grandpa "B" tell us the story of Jesus' birth before we open presents. That's my cute Mom sitting with the kids.Lauren and Emmi showing Abby how excited they are about their Cinderella dolls.Emmi's face was just priceless after she opened this big beagle stuffed animal from Uncle J. It really is as big as she is, but she still drags it around with her anyway.Sam and Tanner sporting their new Hulk jammies and "Hulk Hands" that Grandma and Grandpa gave the boys for Christmas. They wouldn't put those things down!Emmi cried and cried until we gave in and made the boys let her wear their Hulk Hands. I snapped this picture just after Em went over and popped Damma for no reason. You can tell my Mom was surprised!Christmas afternoon we went over to Chad's Mom and Dad's house and finished out the holiday. Kim gave the boys remote control trucks. Here is Chaston and Keek taking them out for a spin in Kim's dance studio.The boys again and their trucks with my niece Mccall down playing in the corner. Kim gave the girls very nice babydolls.Sorry, this is a little out of order, but this is Christmas morning. And this year more than any, it looked like a tornado hit by time everything was opened, (so don't mind the mess :). Emmi just loved the kitty that Santa brought her. This is her giving her kitty a kiss.Papa surprised her with another "baby".The boys got Star Wars toys and lots of transformers, so I say that they made out pretty good! It was another year that Chad waited to go shopping until Christmas Eve. He was gone for hours, but he spoiled all of us rotten, (especially me) so I can't complain. We hope you all had a great Christmas too!

It's just as fun to see your family pics knowing who everyone is. Looks like Christmas was fun for everyone and i'm happy to see my kids aren't the only ones afraid of Santa.
