1st day of Christmas

Gosh, we had a fun Christmas! There is nothing more magical than kids anticipating Santa's arrival! And then to view their faces after they have seen he has come is priceless. We started Christmas two days early at Grandpa and Grandma Hale's house. The whole family was in town (except Greg...next year!) to have a fun-filled Christmas party together. My goodness we are a big group! Only getting bigger since Natalie is expecting soon! We had dinner..soup bar..yummy! The cousins all draw each others name and exchange gifts as do the siblings. We also threw in Dad's, Natalie's, and Erika's birthday! Lots of presents! Grandma and Grandpa distributed theirs too. Such good times!
