Hussey Christmas

Around 10:30am on Christmas morning, Richie and I had finally had our fill of Faatoafe time. The girls had played with games, some people were taking naps, and others were starting to get restless. Richie and I were very tired from getting there so early, and we still needed to open Christmas presents from each other and our stockings!! Therefore, we headed home for a few hours before going over to my parents house for Christmas with the Husseys.

We arrived at my parents around noon and this is what we found on the dinning room table!! Joe and Dad were having a little Christmas morning Jack Daniels tasting:). Anyone who knows my Dad, knows that he loves his Jack, for this reason, people always get him gifts of different types of Jack (FYI: he prefers the single barrel). We though it was really funny to line them up, worst to best. It was brought to my attention that the "worst" is the least full...probably because my Dad saves the good stuff for himself:). Great way to start Christmas morning!!!
Kyle, Amy, Sophia, and Griffin, got there shortly after we did and Sophia was VERY excited to show off her fancy new dress from Santa. She literally came dancing in!! This girl is too funny. She danced for a good thirty minutes before we had to start opening gifts...between us...she also danced a little in between rounds of opening:).Look how cute Griff is in his Carhart hat...now he matches Uncle Joe!!! She is just so pretty!! This is her fancy new Barbie...it is porcelain...very exciting for a little girl:).

We all totally thought that Richie looked like Sarkesian in his outfit for Christmas day. He was so cute!! Here he is with his favorite gift...casino chips:).

My Dad was holding Abs and Sophia came over to talk with them...I think she was getting worried that Grampy (or Crappy, as she calls him) was going to forget about her because....

...the next thing she was saying was, "Can you hold me too?" It was so precious. Both these girls already have my Dad wrapped around their fingers:)! It is so great to watch him with my siblings kids.

This picture cracked me up!!! It is like she is saying, "My first Coach purse!! Yay!!"

And then, Abby summed up the feeling at the end of the day best..."pooped out!!!!!"

By the end of the day Richie and I were so exhausted!!! It was a LONG day, but a wonderful one. We thank God everyday that we have so many loving family members around us all the time.

Here is to a great Christmas in the year 2009! I hope everyone has a wonderful 2010 full of blessings:).
