Christmas Day 2009

This year for Christmas we had the special treat of having my Grandma with us on Christmas morning. She and Grandpa have always been such an important part of our lives and it was fun to share this day with her. We couldn't help but miss Grandpa, but we know he was there in spirit ... probably wondering when we would eat next or who could get him a Diet Coke.

Thankfully Santa still found us even though we were at Nana's house. The kids were super excited about all of their gifts and Eme liked the idea of being able to tear the paper. Later that day my siblings came over (minus Jeff and Mel - we missed you guys!) and we ate a TON, played games and opened presents. As usual it came and went too fast, but we had a great time. You know it's been a great day when everyone is exhausted and you don't hear any complaining about going to bed. However, it seems as though the 4 youngest grandkids didn't get the memo about sleeping through the night and their parents' need for much needed rest. Oh well! Thanks for a fun and Merry Day!
