Emma's First Christmas

Well our first Christmas with Emma was wonderful. We had so much fun with her. It all started on Christmas Eve in Covington with Grandma and Grandpa Lane. They spoiled her with great gifts and lots of love. One of her gifts was a refinished chair that belonged to her daddy when he was a kid. I think that the chair was her best gift from them.

Christmas morning came very soon for Rob and I. We got home from Covington a little before 10 pm. Got Emma to bed and then the work of Santa began. Emma slept in until 6:30 and the fun began again. Santa was very good to Emma. Luckily Santa gifts were not wrapped so she could tear right into the playing. Opening Mommy and Daddy gifts was a lot of fun for her-the paper was the hit.

Later Christmas Day we headed to Nana and Goddy's house. Once again Emma had many gifts to open. Aunt Beth, Uncle Bernie, Anna-Grace, Aunt Meme, Uncle Brian, Nate and Matty came home. It was wonderful for us all to be together on Christmas Day. That has not happened for a couple of years.

On Friday we went to Aunt Susan, Uncle Scott, Ashley, Amanda, and Will's house for dinner and Christmas. It was nice having the whole family together. The food was great and the kids had a ball.

All in all our Christmas this year was memorable. Rob and I are so thankful for Emma and our family. We hope your family had a blessed and happy Christmas like us.
