Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas celebration this year.  We started out on Christmas Eve at Gia and Pe Pa's house.  Then were home with plenty of visitors on Christmas.  It was so much fun this year.  Emily was so excited about everything and loved handing out and opening the gifts.  She was much faster than William and would then help him too.  He would open something and immediately want to play with it and no longer had an interest in ripping any more open!  His phrase did become "Rip it!" though. Here are some pics of our fun!

Say Cheese!  Eat Cheese!  Whatever!!

Emily finally enticed him over to open a present.
