Christmas 2011 Part II: I have an AWESOME family!

Our celebrations continued long after the holiday.

For the first time in 3 + years, almost all of my cousins got together! We had fun when we were kids, of course, but turns out we have a BLAST as adults!

Here are the three girls with Grandma:

And my cousin, uncle and Michael.
He fits right in.

Turns out cooking for 20+ people isn't easy...

...but is lots of fun!
Here are all but one of the "greats." Anna isn't good at sharing and stole the doll from the girl in purple very first thing. sigh.

Riley is so cute! And he takes photos at my house because I shamelessly bribe him!

My dad and his bros!

And us grand kids behaving:

Here is grandma with her grandsons and great grand kids:

And, of course, the whole group!

We tend to be very, very serious.

After the big family shin-dig, we had some "like family" friends over.

The mama is one of my oldest friends. Here are our babes playing:

I didn't catch it on camera, but they each held an end of the blanket and played "peekaboo" with each other. It was too cute. Other than that, they stole each other's toys. That's 1 year old's for ya!

These two were some what uncooperative in their photo-taking:
The toy-sharing. Anna stole the one in Jackson's hand moments later.
Sigh. Fun times, though. And lots of good memories!
