Once again, we had a busy but fun day! We took the children to church this morning and afterwards the children took a LONG nap! Yeah! It gave me and Brandon time to do some cleaning around the house. We took the children back to church tonight for the childrens' choir musicals. After the musical, Santa Claus arrived and the children took pictures with him. Of course, not ours.. They started screaming when they saw him so I wasn't able to get a picture because they had Brandon and I stand with them. Gamma gave them so Christmas pajamas so took some pictures tonight of them all dressed alike.

Today was a day full of fun for everyone! Brandon and I went Christmas shopping and to dinner at Dante's down the Hatch. He was treating me to a nice dinner after a long football season. Dinner was very yummy and lots of fun. Thanks Brandon! Uncle Dustin and Jacy treated Emma Tucker to a day of fun at the Georgia Aquarium while we went Christmas shopping. They said when she first got there she started running and screaming in excitement at all the fish. She got to visit with Santa Claus again at the aquarium and didn't even cry! Will and Walker stayed home and played with Grandmother and Pops all day. Gamma stopped by to bring everyone their christmas pajamas and grab a few kisses before heading home.

Emma Tucker funnies...

Tonight at dinner we were eating poppyseed chicken casserole and Emma Tucker said, "Look Mommy, bugs! Emma eat bugs!" She thought the poppyseed was bugs and it was funny that she was getting to eat bugs for dinner. She cracks me up and I hope it added a little laughter to your day too!

Here is a picture of our Gingerbread house (minus lots of candy).

I know the quality is not very good, but here is a copy of our picture with Santa. I tried taking a picture of a picture.

Today, we met all the McGills at Phipps Plaza to take pictures with Santa Claus. We have been talking about going to see Santa and Emma Tucker was really excited. The children looked adorable in their matching Christmas clothes too. However, when we walked up Emma Tucker planted her feet and started screaming and so did the boys. They wouldn't get near poor Santa Claus! He got up and let us sit in his chair with the children. When they were not looking he stood behind us for the picture. I have no idea how the final picture turned out. Max was videoing and I wish I had it to post. It would provide everyone with their daily dose of laughter. It was hysterical to see how they all reacted! Afterwards, we tried to take some family pictures and they did okay. They were so tired so we decided to forego going to dinner with everyone and came back home.
