Christmas at the Borchards!

Christmas was a success yesterday and was held in our new home! Somehow, all the stars aligned and we got everyone here at our house yesterday for Christmas. It was perfect! Doug, Joyce, Ronnie, Teresa, Ashlee, Philip, Chase, Melanie, Steve, Nana, Ralph, Alicia, Emily and Justine (plus Bella, too) were all here for Christmas. We had a great time enjoying everyone's company and having dinner together.

Our really exciting fun came when we all congregated in the living room for our Chinese Christmas gift exchange. Man, did we get rowdy, but it was all in good fun!
Ronnie was first to go. Everyone had to wear my Victoria's Secret Santa hat while it was their turn in the gift exchange.

Ronnie got a sprayer to attach on your water hose..

Mom liked the Santa hat.

Now she has to choose a present!

Ralph was next, and Mom and Ronnie are already trying to persuade him to steal their gifts!

I think he wishes he would have stolen.

Philip is being persuaded to steal gifts.

Now Ash is trying to decided for her present.

Chase looks adorable, in my opinion.

Chase didn't quite get what he thought he would. A platter? To serve what?

Dad trying to scheme on what he will steal.

Alicia posing for her turn in the gift exchange!

Henry's turn!

Teresa telling us, "What? It's just a hat!"

Justine's ready for her turn!

Nana wants to know what is up for grabs!

Emily was made for that hat!

Then we took a family photo! I love this picture!

Thanks familia for all joining us for Christmas :) You made a very special day for Henry and I!
