Christmas with the Warrens...

Christmas with the Warren's came a little early...with shift work schedules, out of town trips planned, and oh yeah the other side of everyone's family we needed to celebrate a little early on the 23rd not too early but still a good time! The evening started off with the family picture...we set up the tripod and started the "fun"...by the 3rd or maybe 4th picture we were enjoying whatever Uncle Jon was saying...say cheese...say Christmas tree...say "Jon & Michelle are having a baby", you know all the usual things!! WAIT...what did he just say...at least that was what Carolyn (Gram) said or at least her face did! It was a wonderful surprise and we were all thrilled for them. It was over at that point for the picture...tears began, then hugs and then all the talk of how long they have know etc. It was great!! So the next Warren grandbaby will arrive on July 15th, 2011 or at least that is the ETA for now.

After the initial excitement we then sat down for a delicious meal and then onto presents. I have a few pictures below highlighting the gifts from aunts and uncles as well as a great picture of Emily and daddy; I couldn't resist getting that one! The teapot from Aunt Valerie was a hit with Emily...and daddy too, he was very impressed. The Star Wars dart guns were also a hit for the boys from Aunt Valerie and Uncle Brannon. Equally as awesome were the "paper" guitars from Aunt Michelle and Uncle Jon. All in all it was a wonderful night and we'll be so excited to have a cousin on the Warren side!! Congrats to Jon & Michelle!!!
