Christmas afternoon with Neal's family is always a good time. There are lots of people, food and traditions. I have already mentioned the house tradition. Which by the way I got NUMBER 7. It's okay though cause I ended up with the used car lot. It looks so cute in my village. We needed more retail. Neal's Mom and Dad buy every single person a present. If you knew how many of us there were, you would be shocked also. It's very sweet. They also do a fun thing for the adults. They wrap a present with all of their left over wrapping paper. Each adult pulls off one piece until all that is left is the present. This year they really out did themselves. There was a lot of wrapping paper. Neal and I won the gift. I have been in this family for nine years and we have never won . I was very excited.
This picture is so funny. Melanie and Aliya will both be getting baptized in the next month and Neal's Mom wanted to make their baptism dresses for Christmas. She wanted it to be a surprise but something they would love, so she took Aliya shopping for fabric and a pattern and told her it was for Melanie. She did the same with Melanie. On Christmas they opened their boxes and were very confused. Even in this picture I think they still weren't sure what was going on. It is a beautiful dress and Aliya will look like a princess. More pictures will come on the big day. 
Here is Ross being goofy!!
It's nap time.
