Hanson Xmas with a special guest

The next gathering of the started just after one in the afternoon. I did manage to get about an hour and a half rest in before the guests started arriving. Rowan did manage to get about an hour nap in in the car too which is better than nothing. Rowan and Breyson were definitely into the Rock Band drums. They shared the sticks fairly nicely, though there were a few scowls in both directions at times. Breyson sang a nice version of his ABC's too. Rowan was too shy!

And look who made an appearance. And he even brought gifts. Rowan smiled when he walked in, then went running for Mommy. There was no getting her on his lap, but she was willing to sit next to him. She and Breyson helped Santa hand out some gifts and both were good enough to receive a gift of their own too. Bennett, the newest addition to the family, wasn't a huge fan of Santa! Probably the only peep the little man made all day long! Such a little cute, snuggly baby!

Daddy even got a gift. A good ole 'icing'. Also known as, get on your knee and chug this Smirnoff Ice! Thanks Casey! This kids all managed to get spoiled by other aunts and uncles, and second cousins, you name it, they got a gift. Spoiled rotten.

We were on our way home just before 8pm to sleep in our own beds. We wanted to make sure Santa knew where to find us with our gifts too! It was a long day, with not much sleep. But well worth it to see all of the family! Sorry again for my horrible job of picture taking. I didn't get any posed shots. Annoys me!
