Naumann Family Christmas Party 2012!

Here are some pictures from this year's Christmas party at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Joshua checking out his stocking...


Uncle Andy and his Boston College cup.  Interesting fact: Boston College was the only university attended by a member of the Naumann family that was NOT represented in a bowl game this year.  On the flip side, it was also the only university attended by a MALE member of the Naumann family not to lose a bowl game this year... go figure!  And pointing that last part out is my wedding gift to Uncle Andy.


Joshua and Alyssa opening presents...


Alyssa showing off her new gift!


Emily's first Christmas!


Uncle Mike marveling at his new gift.  Looks like it's his first cup.  He's kind of a caveman.


Papa and his Huskers cup!


Soon-to-be Aunt Jenn and her UT cup!  Interesting fact: The two universities attended by members of the Naumann family who will marry or have already married into the family were the only two teams to win their 2012 bowl game.  This proves there's a curse.




Uncle Mike and his ND cup!  At the time this picture was taken, ND was still undefeated.  It was a happier time...


Mom and Emily...


Emily wearing her first Christmas reindeer


Alyssa is watching me post these pictures.  Her comment on this one is, "That's Uncle Mike.  He's silly!"  Yup.


Alyssa happy about her present


Grandma and Uncle Mike framed nicely against the Christmas tree if I do say so myself!


Alyssa and her new bear!


Soon-to-be Aunt Jenn opening a present.  Interesting fact: If you call soon-to-be Aunt Jenn, "Aunt Jenn" in the presence of Joshua, you will be firmly reprimanded.  We only start calling her "Aunt Jenn" after the wedding.  You've been warned.


Grandma and her K-State cup.  I don't know Grandma, I only see one cup... maybe that two is for how many drinks of "Eggnog" Grandma had at the party... "too" many by the looks of it... just kidding!!


Joshua and Alyssa...

Merry Christmas from Uncle Andy, Mom, and Uncle Mike!


Grandpa jumped in for this one!

Present opening... action shot!


Joshua has become quite the expert gift-opener...


Awesome sign, Uncle Andy!  I sure wish I had one just like it...


Grandma and Emily...


Merry Christmas, Emily!


Looks like these few moments were Emily's gift to Grandma!


Naumann Family Christmas Dinner!

We celebrated Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's new house this year.  Here are some photos from the delicious Christmas dinner!











Uncle Mike!

Uncle Mike came to visit central Texas for Christmas this year.  Joshua and Alyssa kept him busy the whole time!!  Here are some pictures from a game of chase...











All Aboard!

Joshua and Alyssa love their new train!  Not only do they get to climb in and out, but they also get to color it!





Country Club Christmas Brunch!

We had a great time at the Country Club Christmas Brunch.  I mean, how could you not have a good time with cookies, reindeer food, and the big man himself... Santa Claus!!

Lemonade, lemonade!


Mmmmmm....


Let's make some reindeer food!!


What do reindeer eat, anyway?  Looks like some sprinkles...


Good job, Alyssa!


Cookie time!


Yum, yum!


Now for the best part...


Eating them!!


Cookie smiles!


Pure satisfaction...


Big bites for Alyssa!


Awwwww...
