what a day...

Christmas day was so much fun with everyone there opening gifts, giving gifts, and opening others' gifts. I love just watching everyone. It's seems to go by so quickly though. I loved that I got to see a lot of my family, because I don't see them that often. We had a family dinner that was so good. However, late in the afternoon, everyone left. I miss not having everyone at home because it gets really quiet. Dad, Mom, Courtney, and I finish off the exciting day by ourselves partying. We watched one of the movies Court gave to me, Good Night and Good Luck, which is a very good show. Afterwards, we played one mad game of scrabble (Courtney won) and clue. It was a great day. and I'm glad that I got to spend it with my family.

a very merry christmas

It was quite the Christmas in the Hall household. Gardner and Stephanie spent the night with us and Santa came to visit Emma and Aspen. Christmas was so much fun with those little kid. Emma wasn't to sure at first, but soon she was really excited to see her new toy, a doll house. I don't know if she had any idea what was going on, but it was alright with her because she got fun toys. Even though Aunt Emily looks a bit frightening, Emma was very happy Chirstmas morning as seen in the picture.Emma loved that her doll house had so many amazing features, namely the doorbell. She seemed to play with that bell more than the rest of the house.

Aspen, on the other hand, wasn't too excited about this whole experience as much as her parents were for her. She did have a rough night though, because she fell off the bed, so I don't know how excited she could have been that morning. I hope she is feeling better.

Gardner and Steph watching their children enjoy the big day. On Christmas Eve night, the kids got to open a gift from Grandma and Grandpa. Kaitlyn got one crazy Hannah Montana wig.

Jenn and Brandon on Christmas Eve night after opening their gifts. Brandon got one scary picture (or so he said) of a cow that "almost killed him" from Garrick.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve always means party at Grandma's. Some how Lisa and I end up putting the nativity (the main event if I do say so myself) together. I am always pleased with the way things turn out, although this year a lot of children did not want to participate in it. This year we had a plethera of girls, and they did a fantastic job.Hannah, Mia, and McKena were cute angels (hence the silver tinsle on their heads). Also, they were great stars as well. My two shepherds (Rachel and Kaitlyn) and my little angel (Hannah).
