Christmas with the Van Essens

Fay bought the grandkids coordinating outfits for Christmas...so before they could open anymore of their gifts - they had to get their picture taken. Look at all those GRANDKIDS! 13 of them standing so nicely!



This is more often what it looks like with 13....


We took the opportunity to snap some family photos too.

Rachel and Matt with kids Isaac, Levi and Hannah


Rebecca and Joel with kids Jaclyn, Samantha, Noah, and Courtney

Ruth and Tom with baby Lydia

And I couldn't resist to post a better picture of Ruth and Tom with their lovely coordinating Christmas sweaters!

And sweet Lydia in her adorable Christmas dress with her mommy.

...now that the photos have been taken....lets open some more gifts!
