Christmas, Part II

Well, it's official. We've celebrated Christmas twice in our house and it was both fun and exhausting! The Hepper family joined us late last week for the second round of Christmas here in Richmond. We are very grateful that everyone was willing to come to us this year as travel is not quite possible for our family yet.
We enjoyed about 5 days of family time, yummy desserts, nice meals (in and ) out, and of course, presents!
Caroline was so excited that she got to experience Christmas more than once this year, but didn't quite understand why Santa wouldn't be making a second stop at our house. Luckily, she has very generous aunts, uncles, and grandparents, so she certainly wasn't lacking in the gift department. Anyways, for Caroline the best gift of all was having her relatives around to play with, boss around, and show off in front of....and she took full advantage!

Check out our Christmas, Part II...

Julia hangs out with her princess doll and Aunt Erin.

All the adult kids went out for New Year's Eve (Tate, Donna, Paul, Lauren, Erin, Chris)...
...while Caroline and the babies stayed home and celebrated with Grandpa and Grandma.

Happy New Year to All! 
Best wishes for a fabulous 2012!!!
