Merry Christmas Granny & Grandpa Lane
We headed home and went straight to bed to get ready for Santa. Okay, well Emma went straight to bed. Rob and I had a few things to take care of, which took a little longer than we thought it should. Rob also thought we should open our presents to each other before we went to bed so when Emma got up it could be all about her. It was actually nice to have just a moment with each other, something that is rare these days. I love my wonderful husband! Our sleepy heads did not touch the pillows until after 1 am.
Next year we will share house space (a hiding place) with our good friends up the hill (you know who you are) and pre-assembly items long before Christmas Eve.
Emma woke up around 7:00. After Christmas hugs and kisses we made our way out to the living room. The video is priceless and if this is Emma's reaction on Christmas morning from here on out we are blessed parents. Obviously, Emma was very excited and happy because Santa did a great job. After opening presents from Mommy and Daddy Emma spent the morning playing with her new toys. We had a visit from Nana and Goddy. Emma was so cute showing all her presents to them.
Watch out here I come.

We had a few days before the celebrating continued, so Emma became my little helper with putting her toys away, finishing up her toy room (yes, it is finally done), and preparing for the two more Christmas celebrations with the extended family.
New Year's Eve Lane's, Boteler's, and Ray's were all together at Nana and Goddy's. We had a blast watching all five kids tear into their presents. Boxes and paper were everywhere. Emma received many nice things....clothes, back-pack, books, giraffe pillow, lacing beads, a motorized motorcycle, a doll house book case built by Goddy, and much more. She is very lucky to have such giving grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Awesome job Nana & Goddy!
Wow, these look like fun.
My over sized giraffe pillow. Emma now lays on it right beside Briggs on his big pillow.
Soon the big kids (sisters and brother-in-laws) got ready to head out for night. Nana and Goddy were the babysitters and we were heading out to dinner. We went to Edelweiss (German Restaurant). It was fun and quite memorable. Of course we needed to head home to watch the Tech game....GO HOKIES! On Friday we headed to Massanhutten Water Park. Emma came down with the stomach bug, which she passed around to some of us (at least mommy and daddy). Unfortunately, she was not able to go, so Rob stayed home with her. I know Emma would have enjoyed herself. If we went down the big slides once we went down them 20 times. Nate has no fear. I hope Emma grows up to be like him. Matty caught all the girls attention in the lazy river, and Anna-Grace went down all the slides she was able to without a care in the world...except the water kept going up her nose. We always have a great time...even Ellie enjoyed the kiddie area. Saturday we had breakfast and Christmas with the Wines at our house. Always fun having 6 little kids running/crawling around the house. All in all we had a blessed and wonderful holiday. It is just to bad that it comes and goes so quickly.
Happy New Year!
May 2010 be another great year!
Blazing orange for the boys!
Merry Christmas 2009 to all our Friends and Family. We hope your was just as fun!
