Hepner Christmas Morning!

We were so happy to have all of our family here on Christmas Day. It is so much chaos and confusion but I wouldn't have it any other way. Here are some pictures...not the best shots of people...but this is reality for us. First the tree before the grandkids found it and then the grandkids lining up to see what Santa brought!



They all exploded through the door and the chaos and confusion began! It is so magical to be amongst all those little believers!!































The gift opening and exchanges went on for quite a while and then the day was heavily into computers, games, other electronics and the WII. Our family has a love-hate thing with Rock Band. Most love it and some hate it!!










I am so glad that Karen and Kat joined us that day so their families could be together. We gave our kids hiking boots for Christmas and that motivated several hikes, starting with one on Christmas Day. I will save the hike stuff for another post!

I think we all loved having everyone there. It isn't easy to coordinate the lives of six children to all be in one location Christmas morning, we are one lucky family! Thanks for hosting the chaos Mom. :)

Mom called and had me pull up your blog to show me that you have the same colors in your houses and how fun that is. You guys are soul sisters. As we were looking she said, oh look at that picture of Tim, that is how I want my bangs just longer. I like how they are all piecey. We miss you guys. It is amazing that you got everyone together. We have a HARD time with only 4 families to co-ordinate.

Anne-send me your email address again, and I'll send another invite. I'm not sure why the other one didn't work, maybe I have the address wrong. I'll try again!
