Richardson Christmas - Our Last Christmas!! (#7)

A quick family picture! But Samantha wouldn't put her milk down and Alden wouldn't wake up! It's a good one of Doug and I though!! :)

Everyone lined up on the stairs to take family pictures ( a tradition for Richardson Christmas).

We had the Richardson Christmas on December 29th at my parent's house in Humboldt. We had almost everyone there to celebrate the holiday season. We had a total of 49 people in the house at one time or another!! It was definitely a FULL house! We had fun talking to family that lives in Illinois and Indiana which we don't see that often. We had soup from supper, the aunts and my mom made 5 different types of soup to choose from!

Opening presents is always fun! There are tons of gifts (you can imagine...49 people opening presents at the same time!!) Brice has Alden's name and he gave him a Musical Aquarium and Alden loves it!! Samantha entertains him with it and puts the balls in it to play music. Katie had Samantha's name and she gave her a Little Einsteins DVD, Alphabet Puzzle, and a My Little Pony coloring book! Sam has watched the Little Einstein DVD about 20 or 30 times now, in just 1 week!! Grandma Farmer (Richardson) gave Sam a set of pots and pans for her play kitchen and she gave Alden a rattle. Great-Aunt Karen gave Samantha a Crayola bank and Alden a piggy bank.
