Brett and Megan got in right around dinner time, so we all went out to eat at Uno Pizza. We came back home and hung out for a while. Later that evening Mom and Dad G and Shannon arrived.
The next morning we got up and had a big breakfast. Then we opened gifts that we got for each other. Alyssa loved that she got to have Christmas morning 2 days in a row.
Hanging out while we did presents.
Brett and Megan got Alyssa a giant hippo. She LOVED it! She decided to name it Magenta.
The rest of the day we hung out and played with our new toys.
We filled the week up with no problem. Ryan and Alyssa took them into D.C. to show them around, while I stayed home with Sean who was starting to come down with a cold.
Here are some of the pictures they took.
When we were back at the house they spent their time snuggling and playing with the kids. Alyssa loved coloring pictures for everyone.
Sean fell asleep on Shannon, holding his nose. We all thought it was so funny.
We also went to the movies. Alyssa sat with Shannon through the movie. She loves her Aunt Shanny. Sean did really good through the movie too. We were nervous that he was going to start screaming but he just slept on Ryan the whole time.
We also got to take a day trip up to Philly. We went around to see all the sights, had a cheese steak and then came home! It was a quick trip, but Philly is such a great place to visit and it isn't that far, so we are glad we got to go do that with them.
The family in front of the Liberty bell.
All of us in front of Independence Hall.
We went into the visitor's center and got some more photo's where it was a little bit warmer.
You can't go there with out stopping by the Rocky statue!
After the Statue we stopped at Geno's for a Philly Cheese Steak and then headed home.
The Next day was Shannon's Birthday! Alyssa was more than happy to help her open her presents.
We all went to church and then we headed down to Mark and Connie's house for dinner and to celebrate some more.
After dinner Shanny, opened some more presents and then we all had some fun shooting each other with some new dart gun toys they just got.
Alyssa didn't want to miss out on all the fun so she was quick to volunteer herself as the next target.
Happy Birthday Shanny. Hope you had a great day!

Nice trip pics! We love the 3rd from top which Alyssa looks like she is conjuring up some evil plan (>v<) and her eyes are sparkling.
Hi Em, looks fun. You've had a bunch of company for a while. That must have been fun to have so many visitors. Hope things are going well!
That's not very nice, Ryan is punching that guy's crotch. What a cheap shot!
Hi Emily and Ryan, You sure are having a lot of fun. Your children are so cute! I never thought about Philly Cheese Steaks coming out of Philly! Thank-you for the nice Christmas Card and sharing your website with us.
Isn't it so fun when family comes out to visit you in your world? It is usually the other way around, so I bet the change was nice. We need to make it out there sometime soon!
