This is the first Christmas since Erin & Chelle were married that they both are not coming home for Christmas ): Since you can't see our Christmas Morning pictures in person, here they are for you to enjoy! Sure do miss you all!
Sarah-opening the old fashioned CD/record player for her room & Megan.
Megan, Sarah, Aimee, Bruce & I went together to buy Guitar Hero for our new X-Box 360-Annah was VERY excited!
Opening the family gifts!
The girls are all wearing their New York City scarves! If any one wants a bargain-go to New York with Matt! Liz & Matt bought 12 scarves for me, like Ashleigh had gotten in NY earlier, and bargained to get a discount! Hope you liked yours!
Josh is always good for a great reaction at Christmas! He's easy to buy for, and appreciates whatever he gets! He's wanted Halo3 for YEARS, but I was too cheap to buy an XBox 360 when they first came out! The wait was worth it! His face says it all!
Lindsey wanted a Barbie House (I know you girls always wanted one-but there were always too many of you to play in one little house). It's perfect for one little girl! She didn't think she was getting it because they are quite pricey! But I got it on sale and had a Toys R Us coupon AND I got a free Barbie Make-Up case with it (now Lindsey, Ryleigh & Allie can all have smeared faces!)
Squeezing "Chowder", the new squishy bear.
Don't know what Sarah was opening here.
For the past 2 years, the girls have wanted American Idol CD's. Aimee was quite excited over David Cook. Didn't get a shot of David Archuleta's CD reaction!
One side of the living room before the gifts were opened. Poor Ashleigh had to sit on the floor. Didn't plan the placing of the gifts real well! Josh got the best seat! Sorry Ash!
The other side of the room-Lindsey was sitting beside of me, beside of Dad taking pictures.
Josh & Lindsey wanted these Family Dollar stuffed animals every time we went in there! Josh's monkey, he named Frank, was holding his stocking. Chowder, the Bear was sitting on Lindsey's Barbie house.
Everything is ready, waiting for the kids and the excitement of Christmas Morning! Sure missed Joe & Liz this year! At least they got to sleep later than we did and they came over later! Sure miss those years of 11 happy faces coming into the living room on Christmas Morning! Now you get to have your own happy faces in your own living rooms and that makes me happy, too!

Aww thanks mom for posting these. I will try to put mine soon. We really missed being there!! It was just not the same. Though we did have a great day with the kids and they had SO much fun playing with all their toys. I am sure we will be there next year. :) LOVE you guys!
Thanks mom for sharing your Christmas morning with us. We had a great Christmas but still missed all the PA family! Love you all!
