We were lucky enough to wake up to a "White Christmas." What a dream come true!! We didn't get that in Rancho Cucamonga! :)
The kids were very excited to see what Santa brought!
Look Mommy! Santa ate the cookies and left footprints in the paper towels!
Let the opening of gifts commence!
After opening half the gifts, we went to Joni & Kent's house for some AWESOME breakfast casserole.
After breakfast we drove around the neighborhood for a few minutes to see all the snow. We used this opportunity to get a group kid shot and before you freak about about the baby not wearing shoes or socks, you should know she will NOT keep them on even for a minute so we took this shot and put her right back in the car. :) No frozen toes. lol
Once home, we continued to open the other half of the gifts. It is a nice way to stretch out the day. The baby isn't in this half of the pics because she zonked out for her nap. :)
My dear friend Dee out-did herself with our gifts this year. She got us In "n" Out place mats, tons of Angels cups, USC stuff for Eric, ornaments, and her super talented niece made me an ANGELS BLANKET! :)
Our favorite part of the day is always the wrapping paper pile. In this pic Poopie had just done a belly flop in to the pile... :)
Stocking time...
The baby woke up just in time for her stalking. :)
Daddy the Hero puts together the toys...
Later in the day my cousin Scott and his son Chris came over to share leftovers with us from our party the night before. It was SUCH A NICE VISIT and I am so glad to have such nice family here with me in Texas.
Angelina LOVED Cousin Scott which surprised us because she has major stager anxioty and is not comfortable with pretty much anyone except us. How adorable is this pic? :) We love you guys and are so glad you shared your Christmas Day with us!
Our evening ended with a nice visit with angelina's birth parents Christina and DJ. We shared some dessert, hung out and exchanged gifts. We had a WONDERFUL Christmas and hope you did too!
Please enjoy these short videos of our day... :) MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Can't believe how big the children have grown since we last saw them.
Glad to see you had a 'white Christmas' and everyone was happy and healthy.
We miss you all, but know you are where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to be doing at this time in your lives.
Love & miss you all,
The Hudrlik Family
Your family didn't just have a great Christmas you had an entirely great month of December :)
So glad you were able to fit everything in and enjoy the time with family and friends!!
I can't believe how big Angelina is getting! Wow!
Great pictures...looks like you all had a great Christmas. :D
Merry Christmas! It looks like you had a very blessed one! :-)
What a wonderful day you all had! So glad Scott and Chris were able to make it to join you. It's nice to have some family in the area, isn't it? I wish WE were closer! You are so funny about Angelina's feet....I would NEVER have noticed that in the photo, nor would I think you need to explain yourself, but I get it....some kids are so funny about things on their heads or their feet. You have such a beautiful family Lisa. I hope you know how blessed you are. No, life isn't perfect and your family is not perfect - no one's is, but you are definitely blessed. Me too!
I LOVE the barefoot baby. So cute! And I am so jealous of your white Christmas. How perfect.
Gorgeous family! You deserve every minute of happiness. :-)
