Christmas with the Copening's

On Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day we were supposed to get a really bad ice storm. We were invited to stay over at Brian and Jennifer's Christmas Eve because of this. We ended up going and it really was a neat experience to see the kids' excitement over their gifts from Santa. By the way, it didn't end up icing and we got home safely. Tyler and I did our gift exchange to each other after we got home later Christmas Day. Emma got American girl doll twins from Santa. Are they still called American girl dolls if one is a boy?

Evan got a train set from Santa!

Evan cheesing.

Dad C. got some BBQ sauce straight from Kansas City.

Mom C. got a new purse. It's actually pretty neat. You have the main purse which is black and then you have "shells" to go over it. So, you never have to take your stuff out and switch it from purse to purse, you just take off the "shell" and put on the new colored one that you want.

Tyler got a book about his ancestors from Grandma Hill.

Grandma Hill was excited about her gift card.

Evan got a new drum set from Aunt Pam and Uncle Marvin. He loved it!

Ta da!!

Jennifer and Evan
Aren't they sweet?

I love my nephew even though he tries to stab me in the neck with a drumstick.

Santa came!

Get that pom-pom out of my face Uncle Marvin!

This is a 4 generations picture. However, they are not a direct line. The woman in the middle is Aunt Bob (Barbara). She is Debbie and Pam's dad's sister.
