Christmas 2006!

The stockings were hung with care...hoping that St. Nick would soon be there...

Christmas started off with office parties...

Mom's office first. Such a great picture of them both.

Then a wedding. One of Matthews best friends.
Then came the presents.... Nana & Papa Morale's first.
Where big presents were instore for all....

Desiree and her present...which is practicly as big as she is.

Justin, Dylan and Amoruso with their respective presents as well...

Katie and Baby Dakota sat back a watched. Dakota is getting so big!
All decked out in purple, just like her momma.
Desiree and her Teddy Rukspin. Now she always have someone to talk to.

Charles, Betty, Dylan, Jacob, and Dad (tony) are all enjoying the Morale family videos from years past. I believe we were watching Yvett as a baby here.

Then...Christmas morning we were off to Papa Champs & Nana Herndon's.

Dakota decided to dress as a present herself.

Dad enjoying his Stud finder...as he put, "see it already found one!"

Desiree enjoyed all her 'girly' presents, including the almost life-size doll that aunt Jenn bought her.

And pretty as a princess.... She opened her present from Nana and had to immediately put it on. She is ready to Knight someone, or loose that glass slipper now.
Matthew enjoyed the $$ and bling as most 20 somethings do!
Dylan rocked it out though in his Skateboard he got from Santa!

...and as always, at the end of the day, opening presents just seems to take it out of you. So we will be settling down for our long winters nap, dreaming of what will get next year!
