Each year, we go to Oma's house for our Van Wingerden family Christmas. We enjoy lots of food, gift exchange, playing games, & playing with our cousins. It's always a fun time!

Mommy & Emmersyn
When at Oma's, Emmersyn always asks for a cracker! Emmersyn is a creature of habit, so we would all expect no less at Christmas!

Oh, and Emmersyn's favorite gift from Uncle Art & Aunt Kelly?? A stroller for her baby, Heidi.
(She didn't know at this point that she was getting a new doll for Christmas from Daddy & Mommy.)
She strolled and strolled it all around the kitchen!
At one point, she thought the stroller was for her...haha!
The super fun chaos that is our VW Family Christmas...there is always a few annual wrestling matches, including the uncles. A very fun night for sure!
OH, and one more picture...a little "dab" for you as we support our Carolina Panthers!!!
