Below are three slideshows I put together since I couldn't decide what photos to choose! :) The bottom one is of Christmas Eve, the middle is Christmas Morning, and the top is our family photos.
This year I had to work and we couldn't travel, so the Tribetts, Andersons, and Schwehrs came to us. We had a blast! We went to Temple Square on Christmas Eve (brrrrr!) and came back and had hot chocolate to get toasty warm. Emma was so excited about Santa! She left him out cookies and milk and went to bed like a good girl. Then the elves came out and got the place ready for Santa and he came with a full bag of goodies! When it was time to get up and see what Santa brought, Emma became very shy and hid in the kitchen. We had to coax her out, but once she got a closer look, she forgot her humility and dove right in! She had asked Santa for pretent make-up (the Santa at the mall) and Tinkerbell toys (in a letter). She got both, not to mention plenty more. She got toys toys and more toys. I didn't know where I was going to put them all! This is the 2nd year we spent with Laura Dave and Shae, and Shae had a great time too! She got all sorts of toys, one in particular was this tiny Snowwhite vacuum that sung Whistle While You Work. So cute! She pushed it around all morning. I think everyone got what they wanted and we all seemed to have a terrific time. We also went up the canyon for our family pics and froze half to death taking them, but I think they turned out great for just us amateur photgraphers. Dave had an awesome camera too! The day after Christmas, we joined the crowd and spent our gift cards at Walmart (a madhouse) and the mall (double madhouse) and played Dave's Wii thru the night. On Sunday, everyone went home and we realized how fast it went by. I always hate that. But it was soooo nice to see everyone and to spend time catching up and enjoying everyone's company. We got to meet my Mom's new husband Phil Anderson and we got to see how much Shae has grown. We got to laugh and play and we couldn't have asked for more. Fun memories....And now its a week later and the New Year is upon us.... 2010? What happened to 2009?!? To whom ever reads this, we hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!!!

Time does go by way too fast, especially when family and friends are visiting. Sounds like your Christmas was fun. Glad Emma got what she wanted.
I love all the pj's, crazy hair, and piles of wrapping paper and boxes! Looks like everyone had a good time! Emma and Shae are so cute!
