This was our first family photo in a really long time!

The last one involved a wedding about 12 1/2 years ago… minus two kids and a dog!  =]

First Stop is Christmas Eve with DeDe and Poppy (Shannon’s Parents)

Emma’s request from Santa was a diamond ring …. yes …a real diamond ring!

‘Santa’ left her a gift to open on Christmas Eve with exactly what she hoped for!

Reindeer Food in the rain!  No Snow for Us!

Milk and Cookies for Santa!

This was seconds before Miley decided to lick one of Santa’s cookies!  =]

I only managed to get a few Christmas decorations out this year, but I always love my tree!

Christmas Morning!

Dalton got an xbox 360 and was super happy!

One of Emma’s gifts was a hot pink camera!  She has loved it more than anything else!

We have the full day documented from her point of view!

Then we move on to my parents house!

I love all the stockings on the fireplace!

A tradition since I can possibly remember!

My Dad, Sister (We always wear the same things/color without planning), Brother, Me and Mom

Nana and P-Pa with the Grandkids!

Dad is our Christmas Day chef!

He roasted a 10 lb prime rib roast on his Green Egg during the day!

It was yummy and he had reason to be proud!
