merry christmas!

we took a few cheeseburger shots on Christmas day...

this is Christmas, right after we got zella up and before we left to go to grandma and grandpa's house. she was so excited to open presents.

i will start with Christmas eve.the pictures are starting with Christmas morning. (i need to fig. how to post pictures in the order that i want...). we went over to grammy and pappys house. we played for a few hours, then kim and keith and emma and justin got there. we just kind of hung out, helping grammy with dinner. leah had to work until 6pm, so we ate without her. (she would have already eaten dinner, we are not totally heartless!). the kids knew that we were waiting for leah to open presents. when she got there, there was alot of excitement.

this was the littlest pet shop toy that zella really wanted. the only two things she wanted to tell Santa was this and the pony bus. she got both. grammy got her the pony bus, and charlie and i got her the pet shop. this picture is on Christmas day. she was so excited to open her gifts. we had just come home from charlie's parents house. she also opened gifts over there. so this was round 3 for her.

i told her that she had to smile while she opened her presents so that i could take pictures of her...

ok, now it is time to back up to Christmas eve, here is zella and grammy. zella loves stuffed animals and is playing with grammy.

i love this picture of grammy, emma and kim. i can't belive that they are all the same height. well, actually it isn't too hard, we roberts girls are short!

zella opening her "pony bus". she was so excited! she played all night with it. and when leah showed up, she played it with her.

i really wanted some group shots of us. we took this pose last year, and i thought it would be fun to have the same pose again. maybe start something...

after we took some pictures, kim remembered that there was a photo studio upstairs in the loft. much better for a nice background. i love these two...the day after Christmas was their 43rd wedding anniversary! way to go.

and this is a little video of zella opening her pet shop. pretty cute...

i hope everyone had a merry christmas. and i am looking forward to the new year!
